Ingredients
- 3 lb beef stew meat or cubed chuck roast
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 8 oz BBQ sauce (1 cup)
- 8.5 oz cornbread mix Jiffy brand, box
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 jalapeno pepper optional, for top of cornbread batter, sliced
- Optional Garnishes: sliced scallions, sour cream, cheese, pickled jalapenos
Instructions
- Add the meat to the slow cooker and season with onion powder, salt, and pepper, then add the bell pepper and pour the BBQ sauce over everything. I don't even mix it up, just put the lid on the slow cooker! Do not add the cornbread batter yet, that is later! Cook for 6-7 hours on low.
- After 6-7 hours, the meat should be tender. Prepare the cornbread batter (see notes below) by mixing the Jiffy mix, egg, and milk together in a mixing bowl, then spoon it over the BBQ beef in the slow cooker. If desired, place sliced jalapeno rings on top of the batter.
- Wipe all the condensation off the lid of your slow cooker. Place a dry dish towel over the slow cooker and place the lid over it. This prevents liquid from dripping down on the cornbread making it soggy. Cook for one hour on low or until the cornbread is fully cooked on top.
- Enjoy! This meal is great on its own, but if desired, you could add toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced scallions, or pickles.
Notes
- This recipe was developed in an oval 5-quart slow cooker. If you use a different size, the cornbread layer may get thinner or thicker.
- Don't skip the step of using a dish towel or the cornbread will get soggy and mushy from all the condensation that drips onto it from the lid.
- If you like spicy food, feel free to add a diced jalapeno to the bell pepper!
- I reduced the amount of milk that Jiffy calls for. 1/4 was perfect in the moist, slow cooker environment.
