    Tex-Mex cornbread casserole with ground beef, beans, corn and melted cheese

    Tex-Mex cornbread casserole is the one-dish dinner that combines everything Tex-Mex loves — seasoned beef, beans, corn, and cheese baked under a golden cornbread topping. It’s the casserole of weeknights and potlucks alike.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch dish.
    2. Brown the beef with the onion, about 6 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning, beans, corn, and tomatoes. Simmer 5 minutes.
    3. Spread the beef mixture in the dish and top with 1 cup of the cheese.
    4. Pour the prepared cornbread batter over the top.
    5. Bake 30 minutes, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and bake 5 minutes more. Rest 10 minutes and garnish with cilantro.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Top the cornbread with a little extra cheese for the last 5 minutes of baking. Let the casserole rest 10 minutes before serving so it slices cleanly.
