Mexican Cornbread Casserole is a hearty, flavorful dish that combines savory ground beef, taco seasoning, cheese, and corn layered with moist, slightly sweet cornbread. It’s a perfect one-dish dinner or potluck favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 (8 oz) can diced green chilies
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) cornbread mix (like Jiffy)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch or similar-sized baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
  4. Stir in corn, green chilies, and half the shredded cheese. Remove from heat.
  5. In a separate bowl, prepare cornbread batter by mixing cornbread mix, egg, and milk until just combined.
  6. Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Pour cornbread batter over the top and spread gently to cover.
  8. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  9. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the cornbread is golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Optionally garnish with sour cream or chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add jalapeños to the beef mixture.
  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for later.
