Servings: persons

1 1/2 lb Ground beef
15 1/4 oz can of sweet corn
28 oz diced tomatoes (drained well)
1 onion
1 garlic powder
1 black pepper
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 box jiffy corn muffin mix
1 shredded cheese
4 each green onions
1 red pepper
1 large egg
2/3 cup milk
1 Goya adobo seasoning

1
Preheat oven to 400F and prep baking dish with cooking spray.
2
Cook down ground beef until little granules, like taco meat, and drain.
3
Onions, pepper, and green onions and saute in the same vessel as the beef.
4
Add beef back to pot and reheat thoroughly.
5
At this time, add seasonings, drained tomatoes and drained corn and turn heat up a bit to cook some liquid out, just about 5 min or so.
6
While this is going, mix corn muffin batter with 1 egg and milk.
7
The box will probably say 1/3 cup, but about doubling it makes it so the cornbread spreads more evenly and smoothly.
8
Dump meat mixture into prepared baking dish and top evenly with corn muffin batter., pushing carefully into the sides to almost seal the meaty goodness.
9
Bake about 18 min, or until corn bread topping is done.
10
Serve hot garnished with cheese.
11
I eat mine with a little plain Greek yogurt and hot sauce.
12
Enjoy!
