LLow Calorie Taco-Style Cornbread Casserole: Everyone Will Love It!
Ingredients
Ingredients for Casserole:
- 1 pound extra lean ground beef or ground turkey, see shopping tips
- 1 (15 oz.) can Mexican-style diced tomatoes
- 1 cup frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
- ½ cup reduced-fat cheese, divided
- 1 (8.5 oz.) package Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup nonfat milk
Ingredients for Topping: Optional
- Chopped tomatoes
- Nonfat plain Greek yogurt or fat-free sour cream
- Black olives, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9 x 9” pan with cooking spray.
- In a large nonstick pan, brown the beef; drain off fat. Stir in undrained tomatoes and corn; heat completely. Transfer to the baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with ¼ cup of cheese evenly over the top.
- To make corn bread topping: In a medium bowl, combine corn muffin mix, egg and milk. Mix just until combined but do not over mix. Some lumps are okay. Using a rubber spatula, evenly spread over beef mixture. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes or until topping is set. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing into 6 slices.
- Optional: Top each slice with chopped tomatoes, a dollop of yogurt and a little olives, if desired.
- This casserole freezes great!
