Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • ½ cup enchilada sauce
  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups grated cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (8.5 oz) box Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 large egg


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. In a 10-inch oven-proof skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the enchilada sauce, drained diced tomatoes and green chilies, chili powder, and salt. Remove from heat.
  4. Sprinkle half of the grated cheddar cheese over the mixture in the skillet.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, milk, egg, and the remaining cheese until just mixed.
  6. Pour the batter over the beef filling in the skillet, spreading it evenly to the edges.
  7. Bake for 22 to 24 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to customize with your choice of ground meat or add veggies for extra flavor.
For a spicier kick, consider adding jalapeños to the beef mixture.
