Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a 9-inch pie plate lightly with butter or cooking spray.
-
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
-
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
-
Stir in the chili powder and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for another minute to toast the spices. Remove from heat.
-
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of chicken broth and the egg. Whisk until blended.
-
Add the cornbread stuffing mix to the broth-egg mixture. Toss gently to coat evenly and let sit for 5 minutes to soften.
-
Press half of the stuffing mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pie plate to form a crust.
-
Spread the spiced beef mixture evenly over the stuffing crust.
-
Layer the drained whole kernel corn over the beef.
-
Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the corn layer.
-
Top with the remaining stuffing mixture, pressing down lightly to adhere.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
-
Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
