How to Make Mexican Fiesta Bake
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1/2 cup water, 1 packet taco seasoning, and 1 cup of your favorite salsa to the browned beef.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, or until the water has reduced and the flavors have melded.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x9 inch (or larger) casserole dish.
- Pour the beef mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- Sprinkle 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) evenly over the beef.
- Prepare 1 box of cornbread mix according to package directions, stirring in the remaining 2/3 cup of cheese.
- Gently spread the cornbread batter evenly over the beef and cheese layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and cooked through.
