Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and continue to cook until the onion is translucent.

  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  4. Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the cornbread topping.

  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  7. Pour the cornbread batter over the beef and vegetable mixture in the baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  9. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the cornbread topping and return the dish to the oven for a few more minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  10. Remove the Delta Supper with Cornbread Topping from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful dish with your favorite hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
