This is a great recipe as is but it is also very versatile. You can spice it up with Rotel diced tomatoes and pepper jack cheese. Add more veggies if you like - I used corn and a red bell pepper. There is really no limit to how you can customize this to suit your family. Wonderful recipe to keep in mind when you are having a hard time thinking of what to prepare. Thank you for inspiring me!
I usually do not review a recipe I have changed but I could not find my original recipe from years ago and so I recreated this variation to share. Prepare Jiffy Corn Bread batter. Let stand (creates crusty top). Brown onion and ground beef. Drain. Add a little garlic and salt. Omit chili, beans and Worcestershire sauce. Replace with corn and green beans or veggies on hand. Add about a cup of mild salsa. Pour mixture into lightly greased (buttered) 8" x 8" Pyrex. Spread a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Then spread corn bread batter on top and bake at 425 x 15 min. Serve with sour cream and salad.
We had this for supper tonight along with a chopped salad. We thought it was delicious. We liked that there was more “filling” than cornbread.After reading the reviews, I decided to use a corn bread mix. I chose Hodgson Mill Whole Grain Corn Meal & Wheat Flour Cornbread Mix.I didn't have an 11x7 pan so I used my Corning 8x8 deep dish casserole. It worked find, but I had to bake it for 24 minutes. It's a keeper!
Easy, peasy recipe. I use frozen, precooked ground turkey (I buy 3 lbs at a time & cook on weekends, freeze, ready to use). I also add a can of hominy, undrained. Once bean/meat mixture comes to boil, I add 1 tsp cornstarch to thicken. I, too, use Marie Callendar's corn bread mix. Great for cold days!
Taste was very good. I suggest draining the tomatoes before adding to meat mixture.
This recipe was eatable but no big wow factor. Won't be making this again!
I love this recipe. I take a few shortcuts: chunky salsa instead of canned tomatoes; a favorite pepper spice mix (doubled) instead of just chili; and Marie Callendar's cornbread mix instead of homemade. My fiance likes it so much he immediately boxes up the leftovers to take with him to work the next day.
Delicious. I also added frozen spinach.
Very good and simple recipe. Easy to keep ingredients on hand for a last minute quick supper. Everybody liked it!
Delicious. I used fire roasted tomatoes and added thawed bell pepper and onions (a mix purchased frozen from store) into the Jiffy cornmeal mix. A Keeper!
