Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s all set for the casserole.
  2. In a 10” cast iron skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Stir occasionally and drain any excess grease.
  3. Stir in cream-style corn, frozen corn, diced tomatoes and green chilies, and taco seasoning. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  4. Generously sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the meat mixture.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the Jiffy cornbread mix, eggs, and whole milk. Mix gently.
  6. Carefully pour the cornbread batter over the skillet mixture, spreading it evenly.
  7. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown.
  8. Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and bake for 5 more minutes.
  9. Allow the casserole to cool briefly before slicing.
