Cornbread Cowboy Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 1 Jalapeno, diced
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Minced garlic
- 1 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 15 oz can of pinto beans
- 15 oz can of sweet corn
- 10 oz Diced tomato with green chilies
- 1 pkg Cornbread mix
- 1 tbsp Hot honey
Instructions
-
Preheat the grill to high, direct heat. Place the cast iron skillet directly on the grates, add the olive oil, and allow to heat up for 2-3 minutes. -
Add the diced onion and bell pepper and cook until soft, stirring every minute. During the last minute, add the minced garlic and mix again. -
Remove the veggies from the skillet and add the ground beef. Don't break it up yet; the bottom will form a delicious crust. After 2-3 minutes, season with taco seasoning and start to break apart the ground beef. Continue cooking until the meat is fully cooked. -
Remove the skillet from the grill and add back in the sautéed veggies, drained corn, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and mix everything together. -
In a separate bowl, mix the boxed cornbread according to the directions. Pour the cornbread batter into the cast iron skillet and DO NOT MIX. Cover with sliced jalapeños. -
Place the entire skillet back on the grill on high heat at 400 degrees and cook until the top is golden brown and the cornbread is fully cooked. -
Remove from the grill and drizzle hot honey on top. -
Serve and enjoy!
