To make this cornbread casserole, I started by dumping a pound of lean ground beef into a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
I crumbled the ground beef well as it cooked.
Once the ground beef was fully cooked, I drained the grease from the pan.
Then I reduced the heat to medium and added a can of creamed corn, a can of corn kernels and a can of Rotel to the pan.
I stirred all of the ingredients together well.
Then I added some taco seasoning, salt, pepper and onion powder to the pan.
I stirred well again and left the mixture to simmer and thicken for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, I removed the pan from the heat and added some shredded Mexican cheese blend.
I stirred until the cheese was melted.
Then I dumped the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
I dumped two boxes of Jiffy cornbread mix into a large mixing bowl.
I added some milk and eggs to the bowl.
I stirred all of the ingredients together well.
Then I poured the cornbread batter over the ground beef mixture in the baking dish.
I placed the dish in the oven and baked the casserole until the cornbread was just starting to brown on top.
Then I removed the dish from the oven and sprinkled some more shredded cheese on top of the cornbread.
I returned the casserole to the oven and continued baking until the cheese on top was completely, melted.
Then I removed the dish from the oven and allowed the casserole to sit for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
This cheesy ground beef casserole topped with cornbread is the perfect comfort food.
