Jiffy Mexican Cornbread

 

I got this recipe from my friend Hetti.

It's super easy and it's a complete meal all by itself. I did make a few changes by adding onions and replacing the three cheeses listed: medium cheddar, Montery Jack and sharp cheese with Colby/Jack (our personal favorite).

 

1 box Jiffy cornbread muffin mix
milk, as directed on box
1 egg, as directed on box
1 pound ground beef or turkey burger
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 cups Colby Jack cheese, shredded
1 can cream style corn
1 cup Jalapeno peppers, chopped

Combine turkey burger, onion, salt and pepper and cook until brown. Drain fat, if using ground beef.

Meanwhile, combine Jiffy mix, milk and egg. Whisk until smooth. Make sure that the mixture is a little "soupy", if not....add a splash more of milk. Stir in cream corn.

Add Jalapenos and cheese to ground turkey burger. Cook just until cheese melts.

Pour Jiffy mixture in greased 9" round by at least 2" deep casserole dish. Spoon meat mixture on top.

Bake 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until corn bread is done.

 

Taco Pie

 

I've been craving this recipe for over 10 years. Dan is not a fan of the dorito or sour cream, so I never make it anymore.

I decided I'll be creative and make one side for me and one side for him :)

 

1 package crescent rolls
1 lb. ground beef or turkey burger
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/8 tsp. salt, optional
1/8 tsp. pepper,optional
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 small bag Doritos
1 package colby/jack cheese, shredded
1 cup tomato sauce
1 pint sour cream
salsa, lettuce and sour cream if desired

Press crescent dough into sprayed 9x13 baking dish to form crust. Bake as directed on package until light golden brown.

Meanwhile, brown burger with onion, salt and pepper until no longer pink. Drain fat. Add taco seasoning and tomato sauce. Bring to boil and reduce to heat to simmer for 5 minutes.

Top crescent dough with whole or crushed doritos until covered. Next top with meat mixture, 1/2 cup cheese, sour cream and finish with more doritos.

Bake in a 350 degree oven just until hot and bubbly.

Top with additional cheese, lettuce, salsa, tomatoes and sour cream if desired.

 
 

Oh and ps....just remember yours will look a little bit different, unless you have "a not a fan of the Dorito and sour cream medley" :)
