How to Make Taco Bake
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown 1 pound of ground beef and 1 chopped bell pepper until beef is cooked through and pepper is softened. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons chili powder, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce has thickened.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 box (8.5 ounces) corn muffin mix, 1 large egg, and 1 cup milk until smooth.
- Pour the cornbread batter evenly over the cheese layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
