Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 ½ cups water
¼ cup salted butter
1 (6 ounce) package cornbread stuffing mix (such as Kraft® Stove Top®)
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with jalapeno
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or more to taste
1 (8.75 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
  • While the beef is cooking, make stuffing. Bring water and butter to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in stuffing mix; cover. Remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  • Stir diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and hot sauce into the beef mixture. Simmer for 2 minutes. Add corn and Cheddar cheese. Simmer until cheese is melted completely, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a casserole dish. Spread cornbread stuffing evenly over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 20 to 30 minutes.

I've made this casserole several times now and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover ground beef and it's always a crowd-pleaser.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my casserole. I followed the recipe exactly but it turned out really dry. Maybe I should have added more liquid.

This casserole was a disaster! The beef was tough and the cheese was rubbery. I won't be making this again.

I thought this casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
