Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a cold skillet, sprinkle in garlic. Cook garlic over medium heat until sizzling and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir onion, salt, and pepper into the garlic and olive oil, cook until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Cook and stir ground beef into onion mixture until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes.

  3. Mix 2 cans Mexican-style corn, salsa, hot tomato sauce, 1 can chopped green chiles, and taco seasoning into ground beef mixture, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover skillet, and simmer until liquid has reduced, about 15 minutes. Transfer meat mixture to a 10x14-inch casserole dish.

  4. Stir corn bread mix, milk, vegetable oil, and egg together in a bowl, fold in 2 cans drained Mexican-style corn, 1 can drained green chiles, Mexican cheese blend, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spoon cornbread mixture over meat mixture.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the corn bread comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
