Mexican Fiesta Bake

This recipe is a favorite of my whole family; even the child who hates meat. I like to experiment with different cheeses or different salsas. I think there are supposed to be 6 servings in this dish but because everyone has seconds it serves 5 with no leftovers. For more servings increase to 1 1/2 lb beef and increase corn bread to 2 boxes and cheese accordingly. Bake in 9x9 or larger casserole dish.
