I'm sure you know by now how much we love to have taco flavor meals around here and today I'm sharing another favorite of mine. My Taco Soup is one of my reader's favorites and today I am sharing another favorite taco recipe with you. This Easy Cornbread Taco Pie is easy to make a family favorite.
How to make Easy Cornbread Taco Pie:
Step one: Get started by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Then prepare a pie dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Step two: Next cook your ground beef in a large skillet. Drain fat and return to stove top.Add taco seasoning, salsa, and cream cheese. Cook until cream cheese is melted and all ingredients are well combined. Add this to your prepared pie pan.
Step three: Now drain your corn well and add to the top of your pie.
- Tip: Make sure everything is drained well before adding it to your pie pan. This will help during baking to keep the base from getting soupy.
Step four: Mix your cornbread according to box instructions. Mine called for 1 egg and ⅓ cup milk. Spoon this on top of your pie. And last top it with shredded cheese.
Step five: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cornbread is cooked through.

This was amazing. My family wants taco pot pie every night. Thank you for this recipe!
If you do not have salsa what can you use
A can of diced tomatoes that you add spices to to kick it up a notch?
You could use just diced tomatoes and add some spices.
Recipe was great! I doubled and used what I had available can of corn and can of black beans in 13 x 9 casserole. Thanks for the recipe!!
Can you make it ahead without loss of quality? I want to make it tonight for someone to eat for dinner tomorrow

Awesome!! I hope you all enjoy the recipe and it tastes as good as it smells!!
I just made this the other day and it was delicious! It was easy and quick to put together too and I LOVE recipes like that! Easy peasy, but doesn't lack flavor. I love how you can adjust the heat in this recipe too, just by using whatever heat level of salsa you prefer. I kept mine at medium because I'm a medium heat kinda person. So are my kids. I served this with a green salad. YUM! Thank you for this delicious recipe!
I am so happy that you loved the recipe Christine! I love the hot salsa but I use mild because the kids. The love this recipe =)
