Cornbread Enchilada Bake

This recipe was super easy and comes together in no time. Great for a weeknight dinner. Add a salad and you are done! Robby really enjoyed this dish. He had two servings and later that same evening another portion of leftovers! The next day when Jim went to have more it was all gone! I used medium spiced enchilada sauce, but you can use mild or hot!

INGREDIENTS
1 box of cornbread mix (I used Krusteaz Honey Cornbread Mix) or your favorite cornbread mix that bakes in an 8 x 8 pan.
1 pound ground beef
1 package of low sodium taco seasoning
1 cup red enchilada sauce
1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Pickled jalapeños

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS
Salsa
Sour cream
Guacamole

DIRECTIONS
Preheat your oven according to box directions. Make the cornbread according to package directions in a 8 x 8 pan. While the cornbread is baking, add the ground beef into a skillet and cook over medium heat until cooked through. Drain the fat if needed and add the taco seasoning. Stir until well combined. You can add a slight bit of water if needed. Remove from heat.  When the cornbread is done take it out of the oven and turn the oven down to 350 degrees.
Using a fork, poke holes throughout the cornbread, not going all the way to the bottom of the bread. Pour the enchilada sauce over the cornbread letting it seep into the holes of the cornbread. Top with ground beef covering the cornbread. Add both of the cheeses covering the ground beef. Add picked jalapeños . Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven, add any optional ingredients and serve warm.

Enjoy!
