  • Sauté the Veggies: Before adding them to the casserole, sauté the onions, bell peppers, and corn in a skillet with a bit of oil for enhanced flavor and texture.
  • Use Fresh or Frozen Corn: Fresh corn adds a delightful sweetness, but frozen corn works equally well, especially if it's not in season.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the spices! A blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper adds depth and warmth to the casserole.
  • Use a Quality Salsa: Choose a salsa that you enjoy the taste of, as it plays a significant role in the overall flavor of the casserole.
  • Don't Overcook the Beef: Cook the ground beef until it's no longer pink, but avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.
  • Layer it Up: Layer the ingredients in the casserole dish, starting with a layer of cornbread mix, followed by the beef mixture, vegetables, and cheese, for a visually appealing and flavorful dish.
