Baked Taco Casserole image

This recipe is like tacos - seasoned ground meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes - but instead of filling taco shells, it is baked into a casserole with a cornbread crust. So feel free to vary the ingredients here to suit your own taste in tacos. I almost always have a can of some type of beans in my pantry, and any type works well....

1 box (8.5 oz) jiffy cornbread mix
1 large egg
1/3 c milk
1 lb ground beef or pork
1/2 c chopped onion
1 pkg taco seasoning or seasoning of your choice
1 can(s) black beans, drained and rinsed
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
2 c chopped lettuce
