Jiffy Cornbread Taco Bake is a comforting casserole that layers seasoned ground beef, melty cheddar cheese, and a golden, slightly sweet Jiffy cornbread topping. It’s a hearty, family-friendly meal perfect for weeknights or potlucks.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (such as Rotel), undrained
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and chopped onion until beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add taco seasoning, water, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and corn. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef layer.
  6. In a medium bowl, prepare the Jiffy mix by combining it with the egg and milk. Stir until just combined.
  7. Pour the cornbread batter over the cheese layer and gently spread to cover the surface.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and cooked through (a toothpick should come out clean).
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite taco toppings if desired.
