Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 can (15 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 box (8.5 ounces) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (prepared according to package directions)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir the drained corn, drained Rotel, cream of mushroom soup, and half of the shredded cheese into the cooked ground beef. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the beef mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Prepare the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix according to the package instructions.
  6. Pour the prepared cornbread batter evenly over the beef mixture in the baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the cornbread batter.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before you cut and serve it.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup.
  • You can add one can of drained black beans to the beef mixture for extra heartiness.
  • This casserole freezes well before baking; cover tightly and freeze for up to three months. Thaw completely before baking, or add 15 minutes to the bake time if baking from frozen.
