I’m hooked every time I see the word “cornbread!”
This recipe combines one of the great flavors of the South ~ cornbread ~ with spicy Mexican flavors. It’s exactly like having salsa with your cornbread and meat.
I came across this in my Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook and couldn’t wait to try this homey quick recipe. It’s a zippy ground beef dish with the added goodness of tomatoes, corn and cheese. Covering it all is a smooth layer of corn bread.
If you like cornbread and Mexican food, you’ll like this spicy dish!
