Cornbread Casserole

I found this recipe in a casserole cookbook that i'm sure i don't even have anymore but it quickly became a family fave!!

1 lb ground beef ( i use turkey)
1 sm onion
2-3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
2 pkgs (8 1/2 ounces each) corn bread/muffin mix
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 can cream style corn
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

In lg skillet, cook the beef, onion, and peppers over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain and set aside.

In a medium bowl combine the corn bread mix, salt, baking soda, corn, milk, oil and eggs.

Pour half of batter into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Layer with half of the cheese and all of the meat mixture. Top with remaining cheese. Spread remaining batter over the top.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. ENJOY!
