Ingredients
1 1/2 –2 pounds ground beef
▢1 15 oz box gluten-free cornbread prepared according to the package
▢1 tbsp olive oil
▢1 small onion diced
▢3 cloves garlic minced
▢2 tbsp taco seasoning or 1 packet store-bought
▢15 ounce can corn drained
▢15 ounce can chili beans drained
▢15 ounce can diced tomatoes undrained
▢1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large cast iron skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant. Brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat, then add the taco seasoning.
To the beef add the corn, black beans, and diced tomatoes. Mix together. Either keep it in the cast iron skillet or transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture. Mix the cornbread according to the package. Top the beef mixture with the cornbread mixture. Spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the cornbread is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Let it cool slightly before serving, enjoy!
Notes
I sub Greek yogurt for the oil in the boxed cornbread mix. It cuts the calories and fat count dramatically.
Feel free to add additional ingredients if desired. I’ve seen this recipe also include bell peppers, taco seasoning, garlic powder, etc! It’s quite forgiving, so play around and find your favorite tastes and flavors.
If you feel like the top is getting too dark, feel free to cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and take it off about 10 minutes before it finishes cooking.
You can make this a one-pan dish by using a cast iron skillet or another skillet that is oven-safe.

I like using Honey cornbread because it gives the dish a touch of sweetness.
