  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Colander/Strainer

Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground turkey, cook in a medium non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium heat. Break up until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare Beans and Start Beef Mixture

    Drain and rinse beans in a colander/strainer.

    In provided tray, combine ground beef and poblanos (use less if spice-averse). Spread into an even layer, then drizzle with 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Bake uncovered in hot oven, 12 minutes.

    Beef will finish cooking in a later step.

    Carefully remove from oven and drain any excess grease from tray. Tray will be hot! Use caution.

    While beef mixture bakes, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Add the Cornbread Topping

    In a mixing bowl, combine corn muffin mix, corn, 1/4 cup water, and half the cheese (reserve remaining for topping).

    Stir until combined and mixture reaches the consistency of pancake batter. If too thick, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Add tomato sauce, chicken base, beans, taco seasoning, and 1/2 cup water to tray with beef mixture. Stir to combine and spread into an even layer.

    Evenly dollop cornbread batter on top, then evenly top with remaining cheese.

  3. 3

    Finish the Meal

    Bake uncovered in hot oven until cornbread topping is golden-brown and firm and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 20-25 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    To serve, top with sour cream. Bon appétit!
