Cowboy Cornbread Casserole
Cowboy Cornbread Casserole is an old favorite with a Tex Mex twist. It’s just like a shepherd’s pie, but with Mexican seasoning and a cornbread topping. Cowboy casserole piles this delicious filling onto a bed of melty cheddar cheese, then crowns it all with crispy sweet cornbread.
