Recipe for Spicy Mexican Casserole

What You Need

1 package taco seasoning 1 ½ pounds ground beef ½ cup water 1 can tomato sauce 1 drained can whole kernel corn 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil 1 diced onion 1 minced garlic clove 1 cup diced bell pepper 1 prepared batter of moist Mexican cornbread 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

How to Make It

Mix taco seasoning into the ground beef.

Using a large size frying pan brown the meat evenly, reduce heat and then drain the grease. Try to remove as much grease as possible by removing meat from the pan and placing on paper towels or even old yet clean newspapers to soak up the grease.

Return cooked meat to the frying pan and then add water, tomato sauce, and corn. Stir until thoroughly mixed and then allow it to simmer.

Using a medium size saucepan set on medium high heat add the oil. Add the onion and cook approximately 20 to 30 minutes, reduce heat after onion begins to cook. Stirring frequently until the onion is golden brown in color.

Add garlic and bell peppers. Saute for approximately 4 to 5 minutes while stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add this mixture to the saucepan with the meat, stir, and then allow it to simmer.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

While simmering the meat, you will prepare the batter of one moist Mexican cornbread recipe. Keep in mind before beginning to make this spicy casserole that you can save time by preparing your sauteed ingredients together for both recipes at the same time in the same pan. Just simply measure out what you need as per each.

Spread the meat mixture into a large casserole dish or a 9 x 13 baking dish evenly. Pour prepared cornbread batter over the meat and spread evenly.

Place dish in preheated oven uncovered and bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes to allow the cornbread batter to cook. Remove from oven and then sprinkle shredded cheese onto of the cornbread. Return to oven and bake for approximately 4 to 5 minutes for the cheese to melt.
