  • 1 package Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/3 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil and ground beef and cook beef until cooked through. Remove from heat and drain grease.
  • Place the ground beef, black beans, corn, Rotel, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt into the skillet and stir together. Cook over medium high heat for 3-5 minutes.
  • While the chili cooks add the Jiffy corn muffin mix, egg, and milk to a bowl and stir together until well mixed.
  • Spoon the cornbread mix into the bottom of the casserole dish and gently spread around so it evenly covers the bottom of the dish.
  • Spoon the chili evenly over the cornbread.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Then remove from the oven and sprinkle with the cheddar cheese before continuing to bake for 15-20 minutes. The cornbread will bubble up and bake through portions of the chili.It is done when the center appears set and the edges of the cornbread are golden brown
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
