Recipes
So, me and my husband are really trying to cook at home more, now don’t get crazy, I am talking 3 or 4 nights a week, but that is better than we used to do. We like quick and easy meals that taste great. I will share some of my favorites with you, but please share with me as well.
Mexican Cornbread- fast, easy and delish!
Start with 1 pound ground turkey or beef (whichever you prefer). Season and cook however you would like. Be sure to use taco seasoning.
Then, Put in a bake pan, I use a small 8×8 since it is just 2 of us, but you can add more and make more however you chose. Measurements do not need to be exact.
Then, add a layer of cream corn.
Add a layer of shredded cheese.
Then, complete by adding a layer of Jiffy cornbread mix.
Bake at 350 degrees until corn bread is complete.
Serve.
