I am always looking for ways to make dinner easy and tasty. Mexican cuisine is a favorite in my family so I decided to try my hand at a Taco Cornbread Casserole. This is an easy casserole dish that you can make on the fly! It is easy and ready in about an hour!
Additional Variations to Try
Here are some additional variations you can try in your Taco Cornbread Casserole!
Add a whole can of corn or chilies (drained) to your cornbread mix to give it a different flair. Spice it up with Cayenne Pepper if you want to add a little fire! There are so many way to make this recipe your own and personalize it to you and your family’s tastes!
This is also a great recipe that can be easily reduced for a family of four! Just cut your ingredients in half and bake in a 9×9 inch baking dish. Also reduce your baking time to 20-25 minutes. That is how I make it for just my hubby and I! It always comes out delish!
I personally love putting my own “spin” on recipes and creating new dishes for my family to try! It is the best way to “hone” your cooking skills and get creative!
