I was looking at new recipes, for something different for dinner. Well, i found it. It was simple & easy to make. I had to add jalapenos to Jon's side. We both thought maybe a can of corn & some cheese would be a good addition to the recipe. But all in all, I will be making it again. Plus it is a budget friendly recipe.
Note- I didn't pick a big enough skillet, so I had to cook it in a 9 X 12 casserole dish. I also used regular corn bread, not the sweet kind.
Serves 4-6
1 pound ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped
2 red bell peppers, cut into 2 inch pieces (I used green)
1 (15 ounce) can baked beans
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 (8.5 ounce) package corn bread mix
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Crumble the ground beef into a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook with the red/green pepper, onion & seasoning, stirring frequently, until beef is evenly brown. Drain the grease. Add beans & mix well. Spread out in an even layer on the bottom of the skillet.
Mix the package of cornbread mix according to the directions using the egg and milk. Spoon over the ground beef mixture, and spread evenly.
Place the whole skillet in the oven, and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cornbread layer comes out clean. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
