Cornbread Taco Bake
"I've been making this dish for about 25 years, and I don't remember where I got the recipe. It is easy and very good. I sometimes add sliced black olives and frozen corn works just as well as canned."

Quick to make and tasty! Tastes better the next day. TIP: Don't forget to get milk and eggs for the cornbread - otherwise, two trips to the store. -
Very quick and easy. I added a can of Rotel to it to spice it up a bit more. Even my husband liked it, and he's not too fond of dishes with cornbread toppings. -
This was a very tasty meal. It was quick and easy. Loved the onion topping. Thanks for posting.

Nice throw together dinner. I did have to sub a couple of ingredients. I used a can of diced tomatoes (pureed)for the tomato sauce and I had to use up a red pepper. :) -
I liked this but my family didn't like the cornbread on it. I ate it as intended but the rest of the family took the filling and put it in a burrito and ate it that way. They liked it like that. I made it in a pie pan and didn't have the fried onions.

I never thought of using salsa. That's an excellent idea. My tweak was to use Rotel instead of peppers. Turned out half-way decent.

Sub green pepper with red -
This was great! My husband LOVED it and actually ate all of the leftovers, which is very rare. I loved the flavor that the onions gave to the cornbread. I added some green chiles and used salsa instead of tomato sauce. Served with sour cream - yummy!

This recipe is great. The enitre casserole was gone within 30 minutes. I have two boys who eat alot... they are 32 & 2 years old respectively. Both ate it without even speaking during dinner, & that is saying something. This is a great recipe as I can adjust & add ingredients as to what I have on hand. I didn't have any Jiffy Mix as I always make my own cornbread from scratch. I also used ground turkey instead of beef. All substitutions worked out perfectly. Thanks for something so versatile.

Very tasty for a quick meal. Substituted the tomato sauce with some leftover salsa and a few tablespoons of ketchup. The french fried onions really were the highlight of this recipe, for me at least! Thanks for a winner!
