Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 box (8.5 ounces) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • Ingredients required for Jiffy Mix (usually 1 egg and 1/3 cup milk)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir the cooked beef mixture into a large bowl with the cream of mushroom soup, black beans, pinto beans, corn, Rotel, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well.
  4. Spread this beef and bean mixture evenly into the prepared 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the filling.
  5. Prepare the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix according to the package directions, usually mixing the dry mix with 1 egg and 1/3 cup milk.
  6. Pour the prepared cornbread batter evenly over the cheese layer in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the Cowboy Cornbread Casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before you slice and serve it.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute cream of chicken soup for the cream of mushroom soup.
  • If you like more heat in your Tex Mex Casserole, add a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the beef mixture.
  • This recipe is great for feeding a crowd; double the recipe and use a 12×18 inch casserole dish if you need more servings.
