Ingredients
  • 1 8.5 oz box Jiffy cornbread/ corn muffin mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (I used Mexican blend)
  • Taco toppings of choice: shredded lettuce, sour cream, salso, hot sauce, cilantro, jalapenos, etc.
Instructions
  1. Put the Jiffy mix, an egg, and 1/3 cup milk in a bowl. Stir until evenly mixed. Pour the batter into a greased 10 inch pie pan or 10 inch cast iron skillet.

  2. Bake the cornbread in a 400 degree oven for 12 to 14 minutes.

  3. While the cornbread is baking, set a skillet over medium heat and once hot, add the ground beef, cook 5 to 6 minutes breaking it apart as it cooks. Pour out excess grease and add the taco seasoning packet according to the packet directions.

  4. Once the cornbread is done, add the taco meat and top with the shredded cheese. Put back in the 400 degree oven for 5 to 7 more minutes.

  5. Serve with taco toppings of choice such as shredded lettuce, sour cream, salso, hot sauce, cilantro, jalapenos, etc.
