This post will be lacking in pictures because we neglected to take any. Mostly, I thought this dish would be fair to middling, but shockingly enough it turned out so delicious that we MUST share!
Get yourself some of this stuff:
1 pound ground beef or bison
1 (15-ounce) can ranchero beans
1 jar medium salsa
1 (12-ounce) box corn bread mix
Ingredients called for by corn bread mix
cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large sauté pan, brown meat, breaking up any large pieces. Drain well and return to stove. Add beans and salsa, stir to combine and simmer over medium heat 5-7 minutes. Let cool slightly then spoon into a 9x12-inch casserole dish. Prepare cornbread batter according to package directions. If desired, mix drained green chiles into batter. Grate cheese and sprinks on top of meat/bean misture. Carefully spoon over top of cheese/beef mixture. Smooth out to cover. Bake 15-20 minutes until cornbread is lightly brown and filling is bubbling.
EAT UP! It's really yummy and totally easy and I will certainly be making this about 20 billion more times.
