Recipe Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef round
2 (14.5-ounce) cans chili-seasoned diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (11-ounce) can Mexican-style corn, undrained
1 (6.5 to 8.5-ounce) package corn muffin and bread mix
1/2 cup instant mashed potato flakes
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for sprinkling
Cooking Directions:
- Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add ground beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings. Add tomatoes, corn and 1 tablespoon corn muffin mix; bring to boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile combine remaining corn muffin mix, potato flakes and 1/2 cup milk in medium bowl. Stir until blended, adding enough of remaining milk until batter is just stiff enough to hold its shape. Stir in cheese.
- Drop batter in 12 mounds on top of simmering beef mixture. Cover skillet and continue cooking over medium-low heat 15 to 20 minutes or until biscuits are done (the tops will appear dry).
- Garnish with a sprinkling of cilantro.
Makes 6 servings.
