DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. Brown up your ground beef.
  3. While browning the beef it's a good time to add some seasonings such as Complete seasoning and garlic powder.
  4. Once the meat is all browned you can drain the grease.
  5. Add the package of Taco seasoning.
  6. Add 3/4 cup water.
  7. Toss the meat in the seasoning for a few minutes to mix it all up and keep it warm.
  8. Add the black beans, corn and Rotel.  Keep on stirring while you're adding.
  9. Let this mix simmer for a few minutes.
  10. While it simmers you can mix up your cornbread using both boxes of Jiffy, eggs and milk.
  11. Spray down your casserole dish.
  12. Add your mixture and spread it all over the bottom evenly.
  13. Pour your cornbread mixture all over the top and gently cover the mixture.
  14. Cook this for about 20 minutes.  Check it with a toothpick to make sure it's done.  Once it comes out clean you're done.
  15. Let it cool for a few minutes.  Then you're ready to "plate up".
  16. Add any toppings you'd like.  This is a good time to have a bunch of toppings available and let each person do their own.
