For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and chorizo. Add a can of drained and rinsed black beans to the beef mixture for extra protein and fiber. Customize the level of spiciness by adjusting the amount of jalapeno pepper or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sour cream, or avocado slices before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together cornbread mix, milk, and egg until smooth. Set aside.
03
StepIn a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Add diced onion and minced jalapeno pepper; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
04
StepStir in enchilada sauce, salsa, corn, and chipotle pepper. Heat through, allowing the flavors to meld, about 5 minutes.
05
StepPour the cornbread batter evenly over the beef mixture.
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until the cornbread topping is golden brown and cooked through, about 40 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
07
StepSprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top and continue baking until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes more.
08
StepRemove from oven and let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the pie to set slightly and makes it easier to slice.
