Savory cornbread topping baked over a hearty beef and spinach filling. A hearty and satisfying weekend breakfast.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cups (237 ml) onion
  • 1 lbs (454 g) 96% lean ground beef
  • 1 cups (237 ml) red bell pepper
  • 20 oz (567 g) bag frozen spinach
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 5 whole eggs
  • 1 cups (237 ml) egg beaters/egg whites
  • 1 box Jiffy Corn Bread Mix
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a large baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onion and beef until the beef is browned. Stir in the red bell pepper and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Stir in the spinach and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, Egg Beaters, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the beef mixture to the baking dish and pour the egg mixture on top.
  5. Mix the Jiffy Corn Bread Mix, egg, and milk to form a batter. Pour on top of the breakfast bake.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until fully cooked.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use 80/20 ground beef instead of 96% lean.
  • To prevent a soggy bottom, pre-bake the cornbread crust for 10 minutes before adding the beef mixture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
