Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
2 (7 ounce) packages sweet yellow cornbread mix (such as Martha White®)
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter, or more to taste

Instructions

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and bring it to a high temperature. Sear the beef in the hot skillet until it reaches a satisfying brown color and becomes crumbly, taking around 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and discard any excess fat that accumulates.

Take your oven and set its temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the dish is cooked evenly.

In a large mixing container, combine the cornbread mix, milk, and eggs. Blend these ingredients together until they form a smooth batter. Then, stir in the creamed corn to add moisture and flavor.

Take the beef mixture from the skillet and transfer it to the bottom of a baking dish. Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top of the beef mixture.

Pour the cornbread batter over the cheese, creating a layered effect. This will add texture and visual appeal to your dish.

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until it reaches a golden brown color, indicated by a toothpick inserted into the center coming out clean. This should take around 17 to 22 minutes.

Once the dish is baked, remove it from the oven and spread a layer of butter over the top. This will add richness and flavor to your finished dish.

Allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes before slicing it into individual portions. This will help prevent burns and make the dish easier to handle.
