Mexican Cornbread Casserole

Great dish, however I added onion and garlic along with an extra box of corn bread mix. half of the filling did not cover the bottom of a 9×13 dish.

Family loved this but I should’ve taken Stacy’s advice and used an extra box of corn bread mix. I believe I will also add a can of mexican style stewed tomatos or salsa. I will be making this again and it was an easy casserole to make…something different.

I added a can of Kidney beans, onions, and cilantro to the filling and then put some French Onion dip in the cornbread mixture. Yum.

This was a hit at our lodge family night….it was gone in seconds…going to become a regular meal for my on the go family…i added a an of totem tomatoes to the meat and make the corn bread mexican style with cheese and jalapenos mixed in.

I can’t stop making this. Adding onion, pepper, kidney beans, 2 lbs of beef, extra corn bread and a must is Sour Cream when served. Excellent comfort food!

Oops… 2 lbs of beef. However, it is great with beer:)

I got you covered matt

It would be helpful to know what size cornbread mix to buy.

I use the size that fits in the 9 inch pan or so. Most corn mixes all make a fairly uniform size. Stephanie

Thank you. I am making it now. I bought two Jiffy mixes. I don’t make cornbread often, so I don’t know if they are what you mean, but I will let you know how it goes.
Unless you are purchasing corn bread mix in a large canister, I really think they make a standard size 8 or 9 inch round pan. ~Stephanie

i dont know what i did wrong.i followed the directions and everything.it was just like eating plain corn bread.i used one lb of bbef was that to little? thats what the recipe says.and it looked nothing like the picture.i wasnt good at all.ill try it again but will a different recipe.

1 can cream corn
1 can whole corn
1 large onion
1/2 of an 8 oz jar of diced jalapeno peppers
2 1lbs bags shredded cheese
1 1/2 to 2 lbs. cooked hamburger meat drained
2 eggs
milk
2 packages yellow cornbread mix
Sour cream
(whatever else you decide to add)

Brown and drain hamburger meat. Dice onion. Mix cornbread mix according to the package. Add all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix well. I use my hands to get it all mixed together well. Place in a large cake pan and cook on 350°F for at least 45 minutes. This may take longer, depending upon the way your stove cooks.
