Serving:1 9x13-inch pan

Ingredients

  • 2 (8.5 ounce) boxes cornbread mix (such as Jiffy®)
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped white onion
  • 2 pounds ground chicken
  • 1 cup chopped roasted poblano peppers
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 clove garlic, diced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 2 cups canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup chopped black olives
  • ½ cup enchilada sauce

Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Stir cornbread mix, milk, and eggs together in a bowl; batter will be slightly lumpy. Set aside.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute for about 1 minute. Add chicken, poblano peppers, chili powder, cumin, and garlic. Cook and stir until chicken is crumbly and browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Add diced tomatoes, corn, pinto beans, olives, and enchilada sauce; cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour mixture into a 9x13-inch pan and spoon cornbread batter over the top.
  5. Bake in the oven until cornbread topping is golden brown, about 25 minutes.
You can switch the chicken for ground beef, pork, or turkey.
