Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch pie dish and set it aside.
- Combine 1 box Jiffy cornbread mix, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1/2 cup creamed corn in a large bowl.
- Pour the cornbread mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 10 minutes. (It won't be done completely, but it will bake more once you layer everything on).
- While the cornbread bakes, prepare 1 pound ground beef. Cook over medium heat in a large skillet until no longer pink. Add 4 ounces diced green chilies, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Poke holes in the cornbread, then pour 1 cup red enchilada sauce on top and into the holes.
- Add the beef mixture to the cornbread, then top with 1 ½ cups Monterey Jack cheese,.
- Bake for 25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Top with chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and sliced jalapeños, if desired, and enjoy!
