Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Medium Mixing Bowl
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • 8x8-inch baking pan

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon BBQ seasoning
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 15 ounces tomato sauce
  • 8.5 ounce Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat large skillet on medium-high heat. Add ground beef. When meat is browned, add onions and peppers.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, prepare BBQ sauce by mixing together brown sugar, vinegar, BBQ seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato sauce.
  • When vegetables are tender, add BBQ sauce to skillet, reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 more minutes and let the mixture thicken up a little bit.
  • During that time, stir together corn muffin mix, egg, oil, and milk. It will be a little lumpy.
  • Once the beef mixture has thickened up a little bit, spoon it into an 8 x 8 inch baking dish. Pour the cornbread mixture evenly on top.
  • Bake for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with cheese. Let cheese melt for a couple of minutes and then serve.

Notes

  • If you're not a fan of cornbread, biscuits would be a great replacement.
