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) |

  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Stem, seed, remove ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/2" dice.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions.

    Drain and rinse beans.

  2. 2

    Make the Cornbread Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine corn muffin mix and 1/2 cup water until a batter thicker than pancake batter-consistency forms.

    If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Stir in shredded cheese and half the green onions (reserve remaining for garnish).

  3. 3

    Cook the Ground Beef

    Place a large oven-safe non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and bell peppers to hot, dry pan. Break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Carefully drain excess liquid from pan. Stir in chile and cumin rub, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

  4. 4

    Add the Sauce and Cornbread Topping

    Add beans, tomatoes, chicken base, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until combined, 3-5 minutes.

    Add cream cheese and stir until melted and incorporated, 30-60 seconds.

    Add cornbread batter in dollops, roughly the size of a tablespoon, evenly over beef mixture.

  5. 5

    Bake Skillet and Finish Dish

    Bake in hot oven until cornbread is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into topping comes out clean, 20-25 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Pan handle will be hot! Use an oven mitt.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing with remaining green onions. Bon appétit!
