Are you a busy mom or dad who is pressed for time? I know that I sure am! Between my writing projects and keeping up with the housework, there isn’t always a whole lot of time for cooking dinner. That’s where this recipe comes in handy. I have had chuckwagon patties before but never a casserole like this! For one, it was super easy to make and for two it tastes amazing!
My husband and kids could not get enough of this delicious dinner.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 jar of spaghetti sauce (any kind you like around 26 ounces)
1 box of Jiffy cornbread
TruMoo milk
Eggland’s Best eggs
Instructions
In your cast iron skillet brown your ground beef. (Okay, okay, if you don’t have one, a regular skillet is fine *sigh* just make sure it’s about 2 inches deep.)
While your beef is browning, make the cornbread batter according to package directions using the milk and eggs. Or just get your daughter to make it.
Once your beef is browned, drain the grease. Or do like my mom does and just take a paper towel and sop it up. Lazy Mom TEXAS style!
Salt and pepper the beef to taste and pour in your jar of spaghetti sauce (you can always add more than one jar if you would like it saucier).
Now at this point you can add in some optional ingredients… corn or black beans come to mind. You can also put a layer of cheese on top of the beef mixture (don’t stir it in like you would with the corn or beans).
So, do the optional things or just leave the beef with spaghetti sauce as is, and pour the cornbread batter over the top.
Level out the cornbread with the back of your spoon. Then pop it in a 400-degree oven for 20-30 minutes or until knife inserted comes clean.
Then smother that bad boy in cheese if you’re that kind of person.
Serve with a tossed salad or a side of green beans and BAM! Dinner’s done. Lazy Mom TEXAS style.
