Tex-mex Combo

2 lbs ground meat (beef, turkey, chicken) browned and drained
1/2 bigger Jar picante or chunky salsa (I dump probably a cup and a half or so)
1 can tomato sauce
1 can corn, drained (we like the mexicorn)
1 can black beans (or pinto of you prefer) drained - optional
2 cups Cheddar or colby-jack cheese
2 boxes Jiffy corn muffin mix
eggs and milk to prepare corn muffin mix
1 small can chilies
1 can creamed corn

Mix meat, beans, salsa, tomato sauce and kernel corn all together and spread out in baking pan--9x13.
Cover with a layer of cheese.
Mix up 2 boxes of jiffy corn muffin mix according to directions, adding 1 can cream style corn and 1 sm. can diced green chilies, drained- optional. Let it sit the few minutes before pouring/spreading over cheese.
Bake in 400 degree oven until the cornbread batter is done, about 20 or 25 minutes usually.
Let stand 5 minutes before serving or it is really drippy.

I'm gonna have to try this one. Looks real good. I'll try it next week. I've already got my menu for this week :-( and I don't want to change it. lol

Sandy, it sounds good to me too! Next time I grocery shop I will put the needed ingredients on my list for sure.
