Notes

Cornbread - I used Jiffy Cornbread for this recipe. You can use any brand you like. Just make sure to use egg, milk, or oil whatever it callls for on the box to mix up properly.

Toppings - We did tomatoes, olives, and shredded lettuce along with some salsa. Feel free to add on what you enjoy.

Meat - You can leave the meat out for a vegetarian dinner or swap beef with turkey if you prefer.

Store - Store the leftover cornbread taco casserole in the fridge for 3-4 days. Then reheat as you would like.
