How to Make Easy Mexican Cornbread Casserole

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion; cook until beef is browned and onion is softened, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in taco seasoning and tomato sauce. Add drained corn and mix well.
  3. Pour beef mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine cornbread mix, milk, and egg. Mix until just combined.
  5. Pour cornbread batter evenly over the meat mixture.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheese and jalapeños (if using) over the top.
  8. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until cornbread is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
