This is one of my sister Taryn’s favorite recipes! In fact, the whole family loves it, as I’m sure you will too!
2 lbs. of ground beef, turkey or chicken
4 cups of chunky salsa
1 box of Jiffy Cornbread Mix
1 egg - for Cornbread Mix
1/3 cup of milk - for Cornbread Mix
2 cups of cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 375° F. Brown the 2 lbs. of meat. Add salsa to browned meat and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
Mix together cornbread ingredients, add 1/3 cup of the cheddar cheese.
Spray cooking oil into a 9x13 baking dish (glass or metal). Pour meat-salsa mixture into the dish, sprinkle remaining cheese over the meat mixture. Pour cornbread mixture over the cheese. Use a spatula to spread cornbread mix evenly and as close to the sides of the dish as possible.
Bake the tiered mixture at 375° for 25-35 minutes, or until cornbread is golden brown. After 25 minutes, insert a toothpick into the cornbread to check readiness. If toothpick comes out clean, casserole is done.
You can add an extra box of prepared cornbread if you like extra cornbread on top.
