A whole can of chiles adds fire to this corn bread casserole. For less heat, you can use just enough of the can for your taste. Ingredients:
2 pounds ground turkey or beef |
2 envelopes taco seasoning |
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, drained |
1 cup water |
1 cup cooked rice |
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies |
2 packages (8-1/2 ounces each) corn bread/muffin mix |
1 can (8-3/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained |
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream |
2 cups corn chips |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mexican or cheddar cheese, divided |
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained |
shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes, optional |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in taco seasoning. Add tomatoes, water, rice and green chilies; heat through, stirring occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, prepare corn bread mix according to package directions; stir in corn. Pour half of the batter into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer with half of the meat mixture, all the sour cream, half of the corn chips and 1 cup cheese. Top with remaining batter, remaining meat mixture, olives and remaining corn chips.
3. Bake, uncovered, 55-60 minutes or until cornbread is cooked through. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 3-5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. If desired, serve with lettuce and chopped tomatoes. Yield: 8 servings.
