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

I crumbled the ground beef well as it cooked.

Once the ground beef was fully browned, I added some diced red and green bell peppers to the skillet.

I stirred well and continued cooking for a few minutes.

Then I added some frozen corn to the skillet.

I stirred well.

I added some salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder to the skillet and stirred well.

I added some water and milk to the skillet.

I also added a packet of instant mashed potatoes to the skillet.

I stirred until all of the ingredients were well combined.

I removed the skillet from the heat.

I added some chopped green onions to the skillet.

I stirred one last time.

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

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

I poured two boxes of Jiffy mix into a bowl.

I added some milk and eggs to the bowl.

I stirred the ingredients together until no lumps remained.

Then I poured the batter over the ground beef mixture in the baking dish.

I used a spatula to spread the batter out to cover the entire top.

I placed the dish in the oven and baked the casserole until the cornbread was nicely browned all across the top.

I removed the dish from the oven and allowed the cornbread shepherd’s pie to rest for ten minutes before serving.

Then the casserole was ready to slice and serve.
