Mexican casserole

This dish is a favorite and really fast and healthy!








1 lb. Ground beef (I used lean ground Turkey)
1 envelope dry Taco seasoning
1 Jar Black Bean and Corn salsa
1 Can Pinto beans, drained and rinsed
8 oz. Shredded Mexican style shredded cheese
2 boxes Jiffy cornbread mix (+ingreds. to make Cornbread)
2 T. butter, melted
Fry ground beef and drain if necessary. While ground beef cooks, mix up 2 boxes of cornbread mix with ingred's it calls for on the box. Add taco seasoning and water the envelope calls for to drained beef and cook for 5 mins. Add in jar of salsa and can of Pinto beans and stir together. Pour this mixture into 9 x 13 sprayed baking dish. Set aside 1/4 Cup cheese for topping hot casserole. Sprinkle remaining cheese over meat mixture. Top this with corn bread mix and 2 T. melted butter. Bake at 400* for 20 mins. Top with remaining cheese and put back into the oven just a minute or two until cheese melts! Serve with sour cream, diced tomatoes, green onions, black olives or Chips and salsa! It's even better leftover!
