Taco Corn Bread Casserole





The other day when visiting Debbi’s blog, she had posted this recipe and I knew I would be trying it soon.  I love corn bread and Mexican food also but combining the two ~ heavenly!

So, this was dinner last night and it was delicious!  Bill and I both fell for it and I will definitely be making it again.  Debbi made it with ground turkey.  I am not much of a fan of turkey, except at Thanksgiving time; therefore, I cooked this great recipe up with lean ground beef.  Then before serving, I dusted it with chili powder. 

This is seriously good as Debbi says and easy too!  Give it a try! 


On its way into the oven



Here’s Debbi’s recipe:

Taco Corn Bread Casserole

1 package (8 1/2 oz) corn bread/muffin mix
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
3 cups cooked taco seasoned meat
1 can black beans
1 cup (8 oz) sour cream, light
1 cup colby jack, cheddar or mexican cheese, shredded and divided
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 can sliced olives (optional, I didn't use)

In a large bowl, combine the corn bread, egg and milk until blended.  Spread into an 8 x 8 pan sprayed with cooking spray.  Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.  Combine taco meat and beans, spread over corn bread.  Combine sour cream, 3/4 cup cheese and onion.  Spread over meat mixture.  Bake for 20 - 25 minutes longer or until heated through and cheese is melted.  Sprinkle with tomato, lettuce and remaining 1/4 cup of cheese. 

ENJOY!!!    

Thanks for the recipe, Debbi!
