1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 large white onion, chopped
1 – 14 1/2 oz. can tomatoes
1 1/4 oz. pkg. taco seasoning (I really like this kind.)
1/4 c. water
3/4 c. Jiffy corn bread mix
1 T. chopped pimentos
1 small can chopped jalapeños
3/4 c. milk
1 egg, beaten
2 T. canola oil
2 c. sharp cheddar, shredded
Brown meat on medium heat in a large stock pot, adding onion at the end for another 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, taco seasoning and water. Bring to a boil on medium high heat. Then cover and reduce heat to medium low, simmering for 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Jiffy, pimentos, jalapeños, milk, egg and oil. Pour over meat mixture (after it has simmered for the 10 minutes). Cover and cook 15 minutes on medium low heat. Remove lid and cook 15 minutes more, adding cheese on top for the last 5 minutes. (Be careful not to burn the bottom.)
