1 lb. ground beef

Beef mix

1 onion, chopped
1 tsp. taco seasoning
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
15 oz. can black beans, drained
15 oz. can corn kernels, drained
14 oz. can diced tomatoes
3/4 c. cheddar cheese, grated
1 Tbsp. chili powder
salt and pepper, to taste

1/3 tsp. coriander
1/2 tsp. basil
1 lb. bag Marie Callender's Low-Fat Corn Bread mix
1 1/2 c. water
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Cook the beef and onion together in a deep skillet until the beef is browned. While it's cooking, add in the taco seasoning. Add the garlic, and cook 1 more minute. Drain the fat.

Before baking

Add the beans, corn, tomatoes, cheese, and seasonings to the meat and onions. Cook about 5 minutes, adjusting the seasonings as needed.

In a separate bowl, mix together the corn bread mix and water. Make sure all the lumps are gone.

Grease a casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour in the beef mixture. Spread out evenly. Pour the corn bread mix onto the top of the beef mixture evenly. 

Dinner is ready!

Bake for 30-35 minutes. The corn bread needs to be cooked all the way through. Enjoy!
