Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil in a 10-12” oven safe skillet over medium high heat. Add in the onion and pepper and sauté until they've softened, 3-4 minutes. Add in the ground beef and crumble it. Stir in salt, pepper, and the dried spices and cook for 6-8 minutes or until the beef is cooked through.
  2. Add in the black beans, corn, cheese, and enchilada sauce. Stir everything together and let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
  3. While the filling is simmering whisk together the ingredients for the cornbread topping and then pour it on top of the ground beef mixture. Place the skillet onto a sheet pan in case it bubbles over and then into a 350° F. Preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out with a few crumbs attached. Garnish with cilantro or any other toppings of your choice.
