I sauteed 1 diced vidalia onion (though a regular yellow, or even red, would work), with a big spoonful of chopped garlic, till the onion was translucent and beginning to brown. Added 1 lb. of ground beef, and sauteed the whole thing till the beef was browned, then drained it. Added 1 drained can of sweet corn and 1 can of tomato sauce. My intention was to use rotel (the diced tomatoes with green chilis) but I was out. Next time I will use that, but this was still awesome, even without the chilis! I spiced the mixture with some Himalayan salt and some Adobo seasoning (fairly heavy-handed on that one). Then I mixed two boxes of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix, and spooned that over the top. Baked at 400* for about 40 mins, until the top was golden brown (if you use just one box, probably would take less time but I wanted to make sure the center was cooked). Then I turned the oven off and sprinkled on about 3/4 C of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. When that melted, I took it our and took pics. It was/is so good! It had the savory of the beef, cheese, sauce, spices...the sweetness of the corn and cornbread...
Now...variations...one could use any ground meat. One could use any canned tomato. One could use 1 box of Jiffy. One could use 2 lbs of beef. One could use any shredded cheese...or none at all.
Here is the result:
