How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Step 2: To make cornbread: whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add oil until soft crumbles form. Whisk in milk and egg. Gently fold in chiles and corn. Pour into greased large cast iron skillet. Bake until set (a toothpick should come out clean) about 20-25 minutes.
-
Step 3: While cornbread is baking, cook the beef until done. Add onion and the 4 dry spices, cook until onion is softened, about 4 minutes; drain fat and set aside.
-
Step 4: Once cornbread is done baking, reduce oven to 350 degree F.
-
Step 5: Poke holes in baked cornbread with a fork and pour enchilada sauce over it. Top with ground beef mixture then shredded cheese, and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and back until cheese begins to brown, about 5-10 minutes.
-
Step 6: Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving with desired toppings.
