Cornbread Casserole II…

Ingredients

2 Pounds Lean Ground Beef

1/2 Cup Chopped Celery

1/2 Cup Chopped Onion

1 Tablespoon Chili Powder

1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin

1/2 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper (optional)

1 (15 Ounce) Can Tomato Sauce

2 (15 Ounce) Cans Chili With Beans

1 Cup Half n Half

2 Eggs

3 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese (1 Cup Reserved for Topping)

Directions

1. Cook beef, and onion in a skillet over medium heat until turkey is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Add chili powder, black pepper, cumin, and red pepper. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, chili with bean. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

3. Combine cornbread mixes, milk, and egg in a bowl and mix well. Spoon batter into the prepared baking pan. Spoon turkey mixture over batter.

4. Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until edges of cornbread are nicely browned and center appears to be set, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top. Return to the hot oven and bake until cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes more.
