Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon cooked, chopped
- 24 ounces ground beef lean
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 16 ounces baked beans not drained, I love Ranch beans for this
- 1 cups frozen corn
- ½ cup bbq sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- 17 ounces Jiffy cornbread mix (2) 8.5 ounce boxes
- 2 large eggs beaten
- ⅔ cup milk
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- In a large (oven safe) skillet cook the ground beef and onion over medium heat until the onion is soft and the ground beef is no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
- Add the baked beans, corn, bbq sauce, mustard, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin. Stir to combine. Top with shredded cheese and bacon.
- In a medium bowl, combine the milk and eggs. Whisk to beat the eggs and mix with milk.
- Add in the cornbread mixture, stirring just until incorporated.
- Pour the cornbread mixture over the top of the meat mixture and spread into an even layer.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cornbread is done. (Check with a toothpick to see if it comes out clean)
- Let the casserole rest 3-5 minutes before slicing so the juices don’t run out.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Pan: A 12 inch oven safe skillet. For a 9x13 dish, grease it and move the beef mixture in before the cheese goes on.
- Swaps: Taco or fajita seasoning for the individual spices. Bell peppers or black beans can go in with the corn.
- Toppings: Chopped parsley, green onions, cilantro, sour cream, or pico de gallo.
- Leftovers: Up to 4 days in the fridge. Freeze up to 3 months.
