I made this for supper last night and it was delicious!!! I baked it in my hard anodized square ( 11 x 11 inch ) Technique skillet. I preheated it in the oven and melted 4 T butter at the same time. Reserved 3 T and poured it over the top of the cornbread batter just before baking the casserole.

Casseroles are a wonderful dish to make for a meal during the week. This one is very easy to put together. I like to keep a couple of boxes of cornbread mix on hand for recipes just like this one. You can be flexible in this recipe, you could use any type of sausage instead of the hamburger meat in here. If you have a few extra left over vegetables in the refrigerator, green beans and carrots are just as tasty in here is the corn.

Mexican Cornbread Casserole


My Note::: ( the recipe sounded too boring for a Mexican dish .. LOL )

I kicked up this recipe using my own scratch recipe for the cornbread. I omitted the creamed corn and chilies all together and followed the rest of the recipe. I used a little more ground beef . My add-ins were: 1 can kidney beans, small can black olives, 1 can diced tomatoes, 1/2 of a chopped red pepper, and pickled jalepeno slices.

Yield: 12 servings

2 boxes cornbread mix
1 lb ground beef
1 small can chopped green chilies
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 can regular corn
1 can creamed corn
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Optional....serve with a dollop of sour cream

Brown ground beef add taco seasoning per package directions; add green chilies; set aside .
Mix cornbread per package directions; to corn bread add 1/2 can cream corn and 1/2 can drained regular corn. Add 1/2 of cornbread mixture in bottom of 9×13 pan; On top of cornbread put meat mixture; remaining can of corn and cream corn over that; now add 1/2 of the cheese; top with remaining cornbread mixture and cheese all over top; bake 350* 35-40 min let set 5 min or so and cut into squares .
