This recipe brings together a great combination of Mexican-inspired ingredients like seasoned ground beef cooked with chopped bell peppers, onions and garlic as well as salsa and sweet notes from cocoa and cinnamon. Once you’ve topped the cornbread layer of this dish with the savory meat mixture, just sprinkled Sargento® Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese - Traditional Cut on top for a delicious melted finish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef or turkey
- 1 red or green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped

- 1-3/4 cups (7 oz.) Sargento® Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese - Traditional Cut, divided
