Meaty Mexican Casserole

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Place a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground pork with black pepper, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off excess grease.

3. 3

   Add the kidney beans, corn, water, and taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, mix together the corn muffin mix, milk, and egg until a batter forms.

5. 5

   Transfer the pork mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Scatter the Colby cheese evenly over the top, then gently spread the corn bread batter over everything.

6. 6

   Bake until the corn bread topping is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
