Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped
2 red bell peppers, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 (15 ounce) can baked beans
1 tablespoon dry fajita seasoning
1 (8 1/2 ounce) package corn bread mix
1 egg
1/3 cup milk

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Crumble ground beef into a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; cook, stirring frequently, until evenly brown. Drain grease. Add onion to the skillet; cook and stir until onion is translucent. Add bell peppers, beans, and fajita seasoning; cook and stir until heated through. Spread into an even layer in the skillet.
3 Combine cornbread mix, egg, and milk in a bowl according to package directions; spoon over beef mixture, spreading evenly.
