1

Brown 1 pound of ground beef in a skillet until fully cooked, breaking it up finely with a spatula.

2

Drain excess grease from the ground beef using a paper towel.

3

Add 1 packet of taco seasoning, 1 can of whole kernel corn (drained), 1 can of pinto beans (drained and rinsed), and 1 can of diced tomatoes with green chilies to the beef.

4

Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of pepper and 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of salt, then stir everything together until well combined.

5

Warm the mixture on low heat for 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is heated through.

6

In a bowl, mix together 2 packages of Jiffy cornbread mix, 2 eggs, and 2/3 cup of milk until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

7

Spray a 9x13 casserole dish lightly with cooking spray.

Pour a little over half of the meat mixture into the casserole dish, followed by half of the cornbread mix, and about 0.5 cups of cheese. Stir to combine.

9

Add the remaining meat mixture on top, followed by the rest of the cornbread mix, and spread it evenly.

Top with the remaining 0.5 cups of cheese.

11

Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake the casserole for 40-45 minutes until the cornbread is fully cooked.
