For a spicier kick, add a 14-ounce can of diced tomatoes and green chiles to the ground beef mixture. Try using a Mexican-style cornbread mix for a different flavor profile. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. Add a layer of sour cream or cream cheese under the cornbread layer for extra creaminess.
