Tips:

  • Choose the right beef: Ground chuck or ground round are good options for this recipe, as they have a good amount of fat and flavor. You can also use ground turkey or chicken if you prefer a leaner option.
  • Brown the beef properly: Browning the beef over medium-high heat will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Canned beans are already cooked, so you just need to heat them through. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Use a good quality cornbread mix: A good cornbread mix will make a big difference in the flavor of the casserole. Look for a mix that contains cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Bake the casserole until the cornbread topping is golden brown: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and that the topping is crispy and delicious.

Conclusion:

This weeknight beef and bean casserole with cornbread topping is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef or beans. The casserole is hearty and filling, and the cornbread topping adds a delicious crunch. This recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
