This savory cornbread taco casserole is a delightful twist on a classic taco bake, featuring layers of flavorful beef, vegetables, and a golden cornbread topping.
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, then drain any excess fat.
Use a wooden spoon to break up the beef into small crumbles for even cooking.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Cooking the onion with the beef enhances the flavor of the dish.
Stir in the tomato sauce, corn, taco seasoning, and water. Simmer for a few minutes to combine the flavors.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more taco seasoning if desired.
Transfer the beef mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Ensure the mixture is evenly distributed for consistent baking.
Prepare the cornbread mix according to the package instructions, then pour it over the beef mixture.
Spread the batter evenly to ensure a uniform topping.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes or until the cornbread is golden and cooked through.
Check the cornbread with a toothpick; it should come out clean when done.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and return to the oven for 5 minutes to melt.
For a bubbly cheese topping, broil for the last minute.
Serve the casserole warm, garnished with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
