Ingredients

Ground Beef Mix

2 pounds ground beef
1 white onion diced
1 green pepper diced
8 ounces mushrooms diced
1 Tablespoon Italian herb seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
2 cups cheddar cheese shredded

Cornbread Topping

2 cups cornmeal yellow
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons sour cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450F.
To a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Once done cooking, drain any excess grease. This will take about 10 minutes.
Add the diced onions, peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet back over medium heat. Sauté for 5 minutes before adding the seasonings. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes before adding the condensed cream of mushroom.
While the meat and vegetables are cooking, whisk together the dry ingredients for the cornbread topping in a large bowl. Then add the wet ingredients and whisk until combined.
Once the condensed cream of mushroom has been stirred in, turn off the heat on the stove. Evenly spread the shredded cheese on top before pouring the cornbread batter over the entire mixture. Sizzling on the edges may occur.
Place into the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cornbread is cooked all the way through as tested with a toothpick or knife. Serve and enjoy!
