Easy, Meaty Mexican Casserole

Cinco de Mayo - World Cuisine

My picky-non-vegetable-eater husband loves this easy Mexican casserole. There's very little clean-up, it costs less than $10 to make, and the leftovers reheat fabulously right in the microwave. I haven't found anyone that doesn't love it! Meat, vegetables, dairy, and grains all in one easy, tasty dish! For those that don't care for corn bread, there is another option for this recipe in the footnotes. Enjoy!
