Instructions
- Prepare the Cornbread: Begin by mixing the cornbread according to the package instructions and then set aside.
- Cook the Meat and Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the hamburger meat along with the chopped onion until the meat is cooked through and the onion is softened. Stir in the cream of corn, mixing well, and then remove from heat to set aside.
- Layer the Dish: Lightly oil a baking pan to prevent sticking. Pour half of the cornbread mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Add the Meat Mixture: Spoon the meat and onion mixture over the cornbread layer, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Top with Remaining Cornbread: Carefully pour the remaining cornbread mixture over the meat layer, spreading it gently to cover.
- Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the cornbread layer.
- Bake: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the cornbread is golden brown.
