Ingredients
• 1 lb of ground beef

• ½ tsp of ground black pepper
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2⅔ cups of Randall Pinto Beans, drained
• 30 oz of crushed tomatoes
• 15 oz of cream-style corn
• 6 oz box of cornbread mix
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Season beef with salt and black pepper.
Stir onion into ground beef; cook and stir over medium heat for 1 minute, then immediately remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the Randall Pinto Beans and crushed tomatoes.
Beat together cream-style corn, cornbread mix, and egg in a large bowl until smooth; spread over ground beef mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and cornbread is set in the middle, about 25 minutes.
