Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
• 2 pkg corn kits ( I use Morrison’s Corn Kits)
• What ever it says you need on the cornbread mix pkg(eggs and milk)
• 1 lb of ground round lean hamburger meat
• ½ chopped onion
• 1 can cream style corn
• 1 pkg of grated cheese – you can use cheddar or Mexican mix
• 1 can of mild chopped green chili’s

Directions:
Directions:
Brown your hamburger meat and onions
Drain the meat mixture (I just pour meat in colander and let drain)
Preheat your oven to 350º degrees
Save a couple of tablespoons of corn kit mix or use a couple of tablespoons of corn meal(which I never have) to put in the bottom of your dish. To heat the square Pyrex (use a 2 - 2 ½ quart dish or a large iron skillet) put a little oil in bottom of dish or skillet and sprinkle with the saved corn kit or corn meal. Put in oven and let heat while you are mixing the corn bread.

To mix cornbread mixture – go by instructions on package using a little less milk. add can of cream style corn and green chili’s

Take heated dish out of oven
(be sure to watch so it does not burn)
Pour half of cornbread mixture into pan.

Layer hamburger meat mixture on top of the cornbread in the dish.

Next layer as much cheese as you like on the meat.
Pour rest of batter on top – Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover it all – during cooking the cornbread mixture will rise and cover everything.

Bake in oven for 30 – 45 min

Personal Notes:
This is a recipe that I started making when I lived in Dallas and it is a full meal deal with a salad or a pot of pinto beans!
It is great warmed up the next day.
