directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place meat in large skillet, cook over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, breaking meat into small pieces with wood spoon or spatula. Pour off drippings. Add corn, tomatoes, seasoning mix and water to meat. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid.

  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.

  1. Just a note to let you know how much my family has enjoyed this recipe over the past several months... I now double the entire recipe ensure there is enough to go around and enough for leftovers the next day! The leftovers are delicious as well!! UPDATE: Two and a half years later - this is still a regular at our table, and still a family favorite! Thanks again! Also...I add a little bit of cheese to the top after it has cooked...yum!!!
     
  2. Easy, quick and versatile. This will go into my quick-meal list. I skipped the corn and green onions (kid preference) and used about 1.5 cups of cheese on top. Everyone liked it! Thanks for a keeper!
     
  3. This was good, but I felt like one box of corn muffin mix wasn't enough to cover the dish, so I made up a second one. Unfortunately, this threw off the baking time. However, it was good and fairly easy to make.
     
  4. Tried this last night and it was excellent. Very easy

I'm married to a wonderful man since June 17, 1977. Wow!!! <br><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg> <br> <br>Our kids are grown now and married. We have as of right now by our son and his wife two grandsons. Our son PROUDLY SERVED OUR NATION in the UNITED STATES AIR FORCE for 6 years. He is back home now working in a local factory. <br> <br>Our daughter and son in law were married 10/22/05 and live in Georgia. Man do I miss her. We did so much together. She could put a complete meal on the table by the time she was 9 years old. I mean Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Green Bean, Corn Bread or Bisquit Biscuits. Wow!!! How time flies. <br> <br>Both my kids love to cook, they always from the time they could sit on the counter were in the kitchen helping Momma cook. Each night they would take turns holding onto the mixer with me while I mixed the mashed potatoes or help me stir one pot or the other. <br> <br>We just recently purchased a Honda VTX 1800cc motorcycle. So when hubby gets some time off from work we are going to take some trips on it. I love to go traveling, cruises anywhere, but he seems to be more of a home person the older he gets so we have to make a compromise on this one. <br> <br>I don't cook as often as I used to since the kids aren't at home and because of hubby's work schedule. If you seen it you would understand what I mean but when I get the chance I like to try out different things but we need to watch our weight and really need to lose a few pounds. <br> <br>So I am trying to find recipes on here that are low in fat and all that jazz. There are plenty of them that is for sure.
