Cornbread Taco Bake is a cornbread base topped with seasoned ground beef, a creamy filling and topped with melted cheese! So good!
CORNBREAD TACO BAKE
Earlier this week I tried my hand at making my own HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING. I had played around with a few recipes and finally found a mix of flavors that my family really loved. The whole reason I did that was because I was working on this recipe. I wanted to try my hand at making a gluten-free meal and I had the idea for this cornbread bake in mind. Then I found out that some pre-made taco seasoning has gluten in it. That was a shocker!
CAN I USE CHICKEN INSTEAD OF BEEF?
Of course! You can substitute ground chicken or even ground turkey in this meal. I’m super thrilled to share this recipe with y’all. It comes together super fast and it’s a recipe your whole family will love it. You can set out different toppings for everyone to make this to their liking!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
packet cornbread mix
milk
egg
ground beef
taco seasoning (RECIPE HERE)
water
Mexicorn
Rotel
sour cream
Mexican cheese blend
green onions
optional toppings:
shredded lettuce, sliced olives, diced tomatoes, taco sauce
HOW TO MAKE CORNBREAD TACO BAKE:
Preheat oven to 350f degrees. Spray a 9×9 (or 2 1/2 quart) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Combine cornbread mix with milk and egg. Stir well.
Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, make sure you got your Mexicorn and Rotel drained.
Cook ground beef until no longer pink, drain excess grease. Then add in taco seasoning and 1/3 cup water.
Then add in Mexicorn and Rotel. Stir well and simmer for a couple of minutes.
Once cornbread is cooked, take out of oven, then cover with ground beef mixture.
Next, combine sour cream, ONE cup of shredded cheese and green onion in a bowl.
Gently spread the sour cream mixture on top of the ground beef mixture. Note: it doesn’t really matter what order you put this in. You can put the sour cream mixture on top of the cornbread and then layer the ground beef on top of that. It all depends on your preference.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining cup of shredded cheese. Bake for about 25 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
Allow to cool for a few minutes. Then slice and serve. Top with shredded lettuce, sliced olives, diced tomatoes and a drizzle of taco sauce.
Enjoy!
