Easy Cornbread Taco Pie Instructions:
Start by preheating your oven and then prepare your baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. For this recipe, I used a standard 9-inch pie pan.
In a skillet cook and crumble your ground beef. Once it’s done then drain the fat.
Add taco seasoning, salsa, and cream cheese. You can use a taco seasoning packet or your own seasoning. This is my recipe for homemade taco seasoning. I love making this and keeping it in the pantry.
Cook your seasoned beef and cream cheese until the cream cheese is melted. Once all the ingredients are well combined you can add this to the bottom of your prepared pie pan.
Next, drain your canned corn well and add to the top of your pie. Leaving to much water in the corn will lead to a soupy pie.
Mix your cornbread according to box instructions. Each brand could be different but mine called for 1 egg and 1/3 cup milk.
Once it is well mixed then spoon this on top of your pie. Top with shredded cheese. Last, bake for until cornbread is cooked through. I garnished mine with fresh cilantro then served.

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 =)
