Ingredients
Filling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 of a white or yellow onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 cup frozen corn defrosted
- 15 ounces can red enchilada sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese reserve 1/2 cup for the cornbread topping
Cornbread
- 8.5 ounces box cornbread mix
- 1/2 cup plain low fat Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 4 ounce can diced green chiles
Instructions
- 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.
- Add in the black beans, corn, cheese, and enchilada sauce. Stir everything together and let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
- 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.
