A delightful twist on a classic dish, combining savory beef with a cornbread topping.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
In an ovenproof skillet, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and chopped green bell pepper over medium heat until the beef is browned and the vegetables are softened. Drain any excess fat.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir the salsa and ketchup into the beef mixture until well combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed.
Prepare the cornbread mix according to the package instructions in a mixing bowl.
Let the batter rest for a minute to ensure a fluffy texture.
Spread the cornbread batter evenly over the beef mixture in the skillet.
Use a spatula to smooth out the batter for even baking.
Bake the skillet in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and cooked through.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the cornbread; it should come out clean.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the baked dish before serving.
Serve hot for the best flavor and texture.
