This was very good and so easy. It is always helpful to read other reviews before making any dish and I took the suggestion of not draining the tomatoes. I think it needed that extra liquid. I was a bit generous with the cajun seasoning as we like things pretty spicy and considered adding a can of green chilies but didn't have any! The corn bread was excellent with the meat mixture! We will definitely make this casserole again!

If I had made it like the recipe it would have been bland. I put in 2 tsp of chili powder, dissolved 1 beef bullion cube in 1 cup water and boiled the mixture for 30 minutes - NOT 5! The veggies were very well cooked - the way we like them.

my family (including 2 kids) enjoyed it; i used fresh chopped broccoli instead of the frozd vegs; i didn't use the cajun seasonng but added some salsa. the cornbread crust came out nice. and you could never have enough shredded cheese!

Not bad. I actually forgot the cajun seasoning, so I use Montreal Steak seasoning and I didn't have any cheese for the top because my husband is a cheese fien and ate what I had left. The recipe was good though. The hubby liked it enough to go back three times, so I'll definitely be making it again.

Wonderful on this very cold & wintery day.

My husband and I did not care for this at all. It wasn't too spicy, but the flavor was something we didn't care for. Others may like it. We didn't.

I haven't tried this yet, but does the cornbread come out the right way or should you cook the cornbread first? Thanks

I had no problem with the recipe cooking it as is. I liked the corn muffin on the bottom, that was different.

I agree with hammyjo62, the diced tomatoes did not need to be drained. This was very good but needed to be spiced up a little. Next time I think I will try Pepperjack cheese instead of cheddar. Maybe an envelope of onion soup as well. I thought it was good the way it is but needed a little kick,

It was a great idea, but the kids still wouldn't eat it.

Everyone in my family loved it. The cornbread bottom made it unique and the cajun seasoning was just enough spice without being to spicy for my 3 year old. Great all in one dish!

Loved it! The leftovers tasted even better the next day.

Think the tomatoes should have not been drained - I had to add water back & added a little salt & sugar to the mix. Reheats excellent
