How to Make Beefy Jalapeno Corn Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper; cook until beef is no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Drain excess grease. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional). Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained, 1 cup milk, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle with 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Top with the beef mixture and 1-2 jalapeños, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference).
  10. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
  11. Pour the remaining batter over the cheese and beef mixture.
  12. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite gravy.
