Hearty Cowboy Skillet Casserole
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 (15 ounce) can baked beans
  • 1 tablespoon dry fajita seasoning
  • 1 (8.5 ounce) package corn bread mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
In a large skillet, heat the ground beef over high heat until it reaches an even brown color. Stir constantly to prevent burning, and discard the excess grease that accumulates during this process.
3
Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook until they become translucent, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
4
Next, add sliced bell peppers and canned beans to the skillet along with a packet of fajita seasoning. Stir constantly until all ingredients are well combined and heated through.
5
Once the beef mixture is ready, spread it evenly across the bottom of a large skillet.
6
Meanwhile, combine cornbread mix, an egg, and milk according to the instructions provided on the packaging of your chosen cornbread mix.
7
Spoon this mixture over the beef layer, spreading it evenly to prevent any bare spots.
8
Place the skillet in a preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the cornbread layer comes out clean, approximately 20 minutes.
9
Allow the dish to cool for a few moments before serving.
