Instructions

Notes

To add extra flavor, consider adding a handful of chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili powder to the beef mixture before baking. For a creamier texture, you can also mix in a half cup of sour cream with the beef mixture. Ensure the cornbread mix is evenly spread over the top to achieve an even bake.
