Description

This Low-Sodium Corn Bread Pie is a comforting, home-style dish that blends savory ground beef with sweet corn kernels and peppers, all capped with a tender cornbread crust. Its a satisfying main course that delivers rich flavors without excessive salt, making it perfect for health-conscious weeknight dinners or potlucks.

Simple to prepare with pantry staples, this recipe offers a delicious alternative to traditional casseroles.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent. Drain excess fat if desired, though lean beef will require little draining.
  3. Stir in the mock tomato soup, water, black pepper, chili powder, frozen corn kernels, and chopped green pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
  4. Pour the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, prepare the cornbread batter according to the package instructions, typically mixing the cornbread mix with egg, milk, and oil until just combined.
  6. Spread the cornbread batter evenly over the top of the beef mixture in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
