submitted by reader Bettie Wedlock of Maryville, MO

Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 package taco seasoning
1/2 cup water
1 12-ounce can whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 8 1/2-ounce package corn muffin mix
1 2.8-ounce can french fried onions
1/3 cup shredded sharp cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brown beef in a skillet and drain. Stir in taco seasoning, water, corn, pepper, and tomato sauce. Pour into a 7-by-12-inch glass dish or 2-quart casserole dish. In a bowl, mix corn muffin mix according to package directions, then stir in one-half can onions. Spoon corn muffin mixture around outer edge of casserole. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, take out of oven, and sprinkle cheese and remaining onions on the corn muffin topping. Bake 2 to 3 minutes. Serves 6.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen: This recipe was quick to make and tasty. Try adding one 12-ounce can of kidney, chili, or black beans to add fiber and more flavor. One tablespoon each cumin and chili powder may be substituted for the taco seasoning. Also, several tablespoons of fresh, chopped cilantro add more flavor.
