To make this casserole, I started by dumping some lean ground beef into a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

I crumbled the ground beef well as it cooked.

Once the ground beef was fully cooked, I drained the grease from the pan.

Then I added some chunky salsa, chili seasoning, salt and pepper to the skillet.

I stirred until all of the ingredients were fully combined.

Then I added some canned mixed beans and frozen corn kernels to the skillet.

I stirred well and left the mixture to simmer over medium-low while I prepared the cornbread batter.

I dumped two boxes of Jiffy cornbread mix into a mixing bowl.

I added two eggs and some milk to the bowl.

I stirred until no lumps remained.

I sprayed a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

I dumped the ground beef mixture into the baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Then I poured the cornbread batter over the ground beef mixture and spread it out evenly.

I placed the baking dish in the oven and baked until the cornbread was nicely browned on top.

Then I removed the dish from the oven.

I sprinkled some shredded Mexican cheese blend on top of the cornbread.

I returned the dish to the oven and continued baking until the cheese was completely melted and just starting to brown.

I removed the casserole from the oven and allowed it to rest for a few minutes.

Then the casserole was ready to scoop and serve.

This ground beef cornbread casserole is the perfect comfort food.
