How to Make Beef And Cornbread Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brown 1 lb of ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  4. Add 1 (10 ounce) can of undrained diced tomatoes and green chilies. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens and is bubbly (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  6. In another bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup corn kernels, 1 cup milk, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened.
  8. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Grease a 9x9x2-inch baking pan.
  10. Spread half of the cornbread batter into the prepared pan.
  11. Spoon the beef and chili mixture evenly over the cornbread batter.
  12. Top with the remaining cornbread batter.
  13. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  14. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into squares.
