Budgets have been tight with the pandemic clearing and extra money vanishing. So our food budget has gotten tight. . . We have gotten creative.

Corn bread Taco Bake



I cook this in crock pot or slow cooker, but you can cook this in an oven.

Start making corn bread. . . let go for about an hour,
Then layer salsa (I use mild, but if you can handle the heat, you can get hotter.)

cook pound of beef on the stove (add taco seasoning or make up your own with paprika, black pepper, red chilli flakes, chilli powder, etc season to your liking)

I also make a rice mix (spanish, beef or other flavored)
Layer the rice and beef over the corn bread, then add cheese.

Within several hours, dinner is ready.

You can add corn, black olives, onions, peppers, tomatoes. I also put sour cream on my own bowl.
