Start by browning your ground beef in a large cast iron pan. Once browned, drain the grease if necessary & add the onion. Let cook for about 5 minutes. Add the black beans, tomatoes, corn & seasonings. Cook another 5 minutes. Top with cheese.

Meanwhile, prepare your favorite corn bread recipe. Add the corn bread mixture to the top of the meat mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the corn bread topping starts to brown & is no longer gooey in the center.

Top with any additional toppings & enjoy!
