2 8.5 oz. boxes corn muffin mix

Instructions

1-First: preheat the oven to 400 degrees and grease a 9Γ—13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray to avoid sticking.

4-Simmer: this over low to medium heat for five minutes, stirring occasionally to thicken it up.

5-Pour: the mixture into your prepared dish and top with 1 cup of the shredded cheese blend.

6-In another bowl: whisk together the 2 eggs and 2/3 cup milk, then stir in the 2 8.5 oz. boxes corn muffin mix to make the batter.

7-Spread: this batter evenly over the meat layer and bake for 15-20 minutes until the top turns golden brown.

8-Once out of the oven: sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded cheese blend on top and bake for another two minutes until it melts.

9-Let: it rest a bit before serving to set the flavors.
