Answer 3

1 lb ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning mix
1 can (14 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (15.25 oz) corn
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

(corn bread topping)
1 box jiffy corn muffin mix
1 egg
1/3 cup milk

Heat oven to 325 grease a casserole dish.
Brown meat drain. Stir in taco seasoning, tomato sauce and corn. Spoon into pan, sprinkle with cheese. Mix together corn bread topping ingredients until smooth. Pour over beef mixture.
Bake about 35-40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. (remember that the cheese is right under cornbread so if knife is not clean make sure it isn't the cheese)


You can top with sour cream if desired,

Answer 4

I'm a Tamale Pie fan myself, but that includes cornmeal, not tacos. Anyway, consider layering corn tortillas with shredded cooked chicken, a sauce made from cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup and cream of chicken soup (mixed with sour cream, milk, and a can of diced green chilis), shredded cheddar cheese and repeating until you end with soup and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees until cooked thru and bubbling. Good stuff and easy to make!

Answer 5

I like adding prepared meat, and all the veggies like peppers, onions, etc ...as well as frozen corn...to a cornbread batter, and let it bake in. Bake in a casserole. Sprinkle with cheese after baking, add fresh lettuce, tomatos, sour cream.

Yummy.

You could also make a lasagna but instead of flavoring everything with Italian style spices, use Mexican cheeses and spices...maybe instead of the marinara use enchilada sauce. with meat in it.
