Taco Cornbread Bake

How did this recipe come about? Well, I am glad that you ask, lol. It was early in the day and that same old question that ALWAYS comes up, “What’s for supper?” was yet knocking at my door! lol

So, I went to my icebox and pantry and was looking for items that I had already. Because, I sure didn’t want to go to the grocery story. I had one pound of ground beef, one can of corn and one can of diced tomatoes. Then, I look in my freezer and saw the cornbread mix and knew what I could make.

So, here’s an easy recipe with only a few ingredients that you may already have in your pantry.
