Cowboy Cornbread Casserole

Cowboy cornbread casserole uses pantry staples to create a saucy mixture of seasoned ground beef and ranch-style beans. Blanket it with a layer of melted cheese and a buttery cornbread topping.

Ingredients :
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 can Ranch Style beans
  • 1 can diced tomatoes or 1 can diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Dash salt
  • Dash pepper
  • 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped seeded jalapeno pepper or chopped green chiles, optional
Directions :
  1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add beans, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes.
  2. Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. For topping, in a small bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine egg, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. If desired, stir in jalapeno pepper. Spoon over filling; gently spread to cover top.
  3. Bake, uncovered, until filling is bubbly and a toothpick inserted into topping comes out clean, 15-20 minutes.
