Ingredients :

1 pound Five Marys Farms ground beef

1/4 cup cornmeal

1 cup flour

3 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3-4 tablespoons oil

1 cup milk

1 egg

1 can diced green chiles

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 1/4th cup enchilada sauce

2 cups of shedded cheese

Optional Toppings

Salsa, guacamole, avocado, sour cream, cilantro, lime wedges, & jalapeño slices.

Instructions :

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar baking powder, and salt. Add oil until soft crumbles form. Whisk in milk and egg. Drain and gently fold in chiles.
3. Pour into greased baking pan (or large cast iron skillet). Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes. (*Or just use 1 box Jiffy cornbread mix!)
4. While cornbread is baking, combine beef with cumin and chili powder and sauté in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
5. Once cornbread is done baking, reduce oven to 350 degrees. Poke holes in cornbread with a fork and pour enchilada sauce over it. Top with ground beef and shredded cheese, and cover with aluminum foil.
6. Bake in oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and put back until cheese begins to get crusty, about 5-10 minutes. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving and adding optional toppings.
