I thought this was a pretty good, easy to make dish. DH didn't care for it (but he doesn't like casseroles). I do think the meat to cornbread ratio could stand to be a bit higher. I halfed the recipe (since there's just the two of us and I figured I'd be the one eating it). If I made it again, would use twice the ground beef. I did add some taco seasoning into the ground beef along with some onion and garlic. I also added some salsa over the meat when layering. I think this helped give a little more flavor and wetness too. Oh, also added an extra layer of regular cheddar cheese b/c more cheese is always good (but I don't really care for Velveeta). Appreciate having a quick dinner and leftovers heated nicely for lunch for work. Thanks for posting! -
This was a easy to put together and it was pretty good too. My son even had seconds and he doesn't usally like mexican type foods. I had a problem with the sides of the dish being a bit dry but I mixed it up a bit with the center and it was ok. Next time I make this I may add some salsa to add a bit more seasoning. I added some minced garlic but next time I may add a little more. Overall we liked it so thanks Bethanna! I will make this again! -
Very yummy and very easy!!! I usually stay away from cornbread because I find it dry, but turning it into a casserole fixed that problem! I am so glad to have a cornbread recipe I love. I did add some spices and hot sauce to the meat before I cooked it, and I went ahead and cooked the onion with the meat, instead of adding into the batter. Also (just another personal taste issue), I found it needing a little "punch" overall, so I sprinkled some Frank's Red Hot on top just before serving, and that made it fabulous! Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely make again! Made for PAC Spring 2009. -
Really good and easy to fix. I was looking for some thing different and I found it! My son loves cornbread so I think he'd love it. Instead of garlic and onion powder I put extra onion and minced garlic in the ground beef. Thanks for the recipe :)
