With a few changes this is a 5 star recipe and one I will make many times over I'm sure. First off I must say do not wait till after adding your onions, bell pepper, corn and tomatoes to drain off excess grease. One you lose too much of your veggies flavors and natural juices in doing so, for they get drained as well as the grease. Drain your ground beef after cooking it. Adding garlic is a must in my house, so I did. I can see where others say using 3 boxes of cornbread is way to much too. I made a homemade corn bread spread which would have been the equivalents of about 1 ½ box of store bought and it was just right. I also took the advice of others and I increased my barbeque sauce to 1 cup. I also did not pre-drain my tomatoes so it would have more moisture. I'm glad I did not drain them either for it aided in making it moist and gave it more flavor. My husband loved it and is looking forward to leftovers tonight.

Basic recipe is good as is, except I think to much cornbread. I doubled the recipr and two boxes of cornbread mix was to much. I mixed up two boxes and used about one and a half. Made the rest into muffins. I also used several tablesppoons of Worcestershire Sauce when browining the meat. To keep from being to dry I did not drain the tomatoes. I added a can (14.5 oz) of kidney beans, drained ands rinsed, two small cans of mushrooms, and a cup of shredded cheddar cheese.I mix the cheese and the barbecue sauce into the hot mixture and it melts through out the dish.

This recipe is really good, but with some modifications. We halved it and put it in a 9x9. The smallest can of corn I could find was 8.5 oz, and I ended up using the whole thing, and used the whole can of diced tomatoes instead of half of it (and I think the results were very good). Ended up adding more bbq sauce like everyone else. Also, one box of cornbread was just enough, butI can't imagine using 3 on the full recipe; I think it would be way too much. Don't be scared of having the cornbread bake on top, only the bottom 1/4" or so will absorb any liquid, and it's a good thing! That part tastes the best! I really liked how quick and easy this recipe was, and great "bang for your buck" in terms of flavor. The bbq and cornbread go together beautifully, not weird at all. would like to try a little cheese next time.

I was looking for a bbq pork casserole recipe and came upon this on for beef. The subsitution worked nicely! I slow cooked some pork with a homemade bbq sauce recipe. I had a ton of it leftover, so after a copule days, I found this recipe. I re-heated the pork on the stovetop and added the vegetables and bbq sauce (reduced to 1/2 cup since I already cooked the meat in sauce). Then I took the advice of one reviewer and added a can of drained, rinsed pinto beans. For the corn bread topping, I used two 16 oz. packages of Marie Callenders mix (no trans fat, just add water). I had a lot of meat and veggies and so the topping spilled over a bit, but I really like it with a thick bread crust. It tastes delicious!

This was so quick & easy. I cut the recipe in half. I used 1lb. ground beef, 1/2 chopped onion, 8oz. can of corn, 14.5oz. can of petite cut diced tomatoes and 1 pkg corn muffin mix in an 8in. square pan. I read the previous reviews and started off with 1/2 c. bbq sauce. I added about another 1/4 c. Baked for 20 minutes. Be careful. Top looked done and even toothpick was clean but some of the cornbread underneath was a little gooey. I would bake it another 5 minutes.
02/26/2007
My 2 yr old loved it. Like others i only used 2 boxes of cornbread mix and doubled the bbq sauce.
09/21/2006
both my boyfriend and i liked this. i skipped the bell pepper (since he does not like it) and added some jalapenos and other spicy peppers instead for some more flavor. i also mixed the corn in with the cornbread instead of putting it with the meat. the recipe does call for WAY too much cornbread - i've found that half a recipe of Homesteader Cornbread (on this site) covers the entire thing in a 9x13 pan.
07/07/2005
This recipe is delicious! My husband loves it and it's so easy to make. I did add a little Worcestershire sauce when browning the beef & onions. Also, I used 1 cup BBQ sauce. It is definitely a family favorite.
02/04/2008
This was absolutely delicious. I made two changes: 1) I only used one package of corn bread mix. Three boxes seemed just way too much and carby. 2) I added garlic powder to the beef as it was browning. I drained the beef grease BEFORE I added the veggies.
02/20/2008
This was excellent! My 19 mo old loved it. I used 1 lb hamburger, 1/2 cup of barbeque sauce, 2 boxes of corn bread and 1 whole can of undrained tomatoes. I will definitely make this again.
03/23/2010
This was pretty good but needed a few added things to give it 5 stars. I modified it a little with the suggestions of others: I only used 1/2 an onion (1 whole onion looked like wayyy too much!), a whole 15.25oz can of corn (because we all like corn!), just a little over 1 cup Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, diced tomatoes w/ onion, garlic NOT drained, and used one Marie Callender's (16oz) package of corn bread. I browned the ground beef first with garlic salt & fresh ground pepper and then drained excess grease. Then I tossed in the onion, bell pepper, corn & diced tomatoes. BUT...next time I think I'll just sautee the onion & bell pepper until tender and then toss in with the ground beef, corn & tomatoes because the way I did it this time, the bell peppers weren't tender enough. Then I stirred in the bbq sauce and filled a 9x13 baking dish and topped with the cornbread mix. Baked for 400degrees for 20 minutes. Now for the critique: The only BBQ sauce I like is Sweet Baby Ray's BUT I think that for this recipe, a less sweet BBQ sauce should be used because in combination with the cornbread (which offers the sweetness to the dish), it becomes TOO sweet. So to counter it a bit, we ended up putting a little sour cream on the filling--great! Also to add a little kick, a little hot sauce (cause we like things spicy). And lastly, threw in some shredded cheddar cheese--because cheese is yummy! Oh and I wouldn't use more cornbread than 16oz because that was plenty!! Hope this helps!

It is hard to rate this recipe because after reading other reviews I made some of the suggested changes. I added kidney beans and cheese, and I only used 2 boxes of cornbread mix. We didn't like the bbq sauce in this recipe. It was too sweet and odd for our liking. I am going to try this again, but w/o bbq sauce. I will use taco seasoning, rotel tomatoes, and jalapeno cornbread on top.
08/24/2010
I was excited to try this recipe but not happy at all with the outcome. I served it at a pot luck at my house and everyone (8 people) agreed tasteless and boring.
02/22/2009
I used 1 cup of BBQ sauce, added a can of kidney beans and put a layer of sharp cheddar cheese between the meat layer and the cornbread.I also only used two boxes of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix. I think it would be good with creamed corn in the cornbread to make it a little more moist and we love corn! The only negative review was from someone that doubled the sauce and halved the meat. Go figure! This recipe is so easy and delicious! Great leftovers for lunch too.
04/30/2012
This Was Sooooo Delish!!! Will Make again and again! My Pickiest eater even gobbled this up. Not spicy at all (we used the sweater BBQ sauces/ mixed 2 together added 1 - 1/2 cups- perfect) I also added 3 butcher block slices of bacon, cubed into the hamburger meat and cooked it together. (I feel it didnt make much difference.... Might slightly cook it before adding hamburger next time) We only used 1 box of jiffy corn bread mix... I felt it was perfect, however my husband felt there needed to be more. Next time we will make 2 batches, and use 1 -1/2 boxes on each. Surprisingly to me this comes out of the pan very easily and together. I am Itching to try this recipy with chicken, or even pork.... MMMMMmmmmmm!!!!! This family's New Fav. My Husband said he wants this for dinner every other day. Yes it is that Good! (although we will have this more regularly just not that regular.) Thanks sooooo Much to - themamalion!

I really loved this but DH just thought it was ok. I did make "Buttery Corn Bread" instead of using boxed mixes so I don't know how the quantity compares to how it would have been, but he said he'd try it again with less corn bread on top :) I did add about 1/4c more bbq sauce too - the flavor was really good, and this is very different too - yum! Oh, and I did need to bake it longer - like someone else said the cornbread looked cooked, and the toothpick came out clean but it wasn't cooked completely. I made cuts in the top of the bread to get the heat into the uncooked layer and that helped.
04/15/2009
I would recommend using a non honey BBQ sauce. This recipe is great and we all loved it but i found it a little too sweet.
08/25/2010
This was very good, I did however alter the recipe a bit to fit my needs. I left out the onion and the bell pepper. I added in a few shots of Worcestershire sauce as recommended by other reviewers. Also, I made the "stew" part of the casserole in a non stick skillet and then served it piping hot over leftover cornbread squares. Was really tasty! Hubby asked for me to make it again, which really surprised me. He had 2 bowls full for supper and then another container packed for lunch the next day. I will definitely be making this again!
03/15/2012
It was good and easy, I cut the meat in half and used full portions of everything else, still made a full 9x13 pan.
05/29/2011
VERY goooood! A must try! I added onion & garlic other then that made as said.
02/24/2009
Wonderful! I kind of eyeballed the amounts based on the reviews, and made a batch of cornbread off the cornmeal box. I cooked the whole thing in my deep 8-inch cast iron skillet, turned out wonderful! Thanks for a great recipe--
08/23/2010
Very, very tasty just the way it is - no doctoring necessary! Had company and they loved it too!
02/28/2012
i followed the recipe to a T. i found however that there was way too much corn bread for my liking. i've reduced the cornbread mix and make this quite often. tangy!!
01/11/2011
Very good! I followed to the recipe w/ the exception of only using one pound of ground meat which is plenty for my family of 5.
01/04/2009
This was good. I made the kid friendly version by eliminating the pepper altogether and using some tomato puree instead of the chunks. I find that kids will eat just about anything if it does not have visible chunks. Onions minced! Tomato puree! Very tasty. Might add some kidney beans next time.
07/28/2009
Wow! This was great. A keeper and the only thinkg that I will think to add next time is a layer of cheese before i pour in the cornbread.
09/10/2007
I'd be willing to try this one again because the changes I made might have affected the end product. I used Rotel tomatoes which made it really spicy which I liked but was too hot for others. Also I didn't have enough meat so the cornbread seemed overwhelmingly thick even though I used only half a recipe of Homesteader Cornbread (from this site per another reviewer). So next time I try this I'll make sure to have the right ingredients. It was edible just not the best thing I've eaten.
03/25/2013
Needs a lot of help; more BBQ sauce, more spices; too much cornbread mix
02/02/2012
A different casserole than we are use to. Hubby said to keep the recipe and try again. We decreased the cornbread, the second time making it. It calls for three boxes. I mixed up the cornbread topping seperately, one box at a time. Even at two boxes it was still alot. I didnt put it all on top.
06/14/2008
Our family really enjoyed this recipe. It is very full of flavor. The only thing is, is that I used a full cup of barbque sauce not a half, it just did not seem enough. I used the Jack Daniels Original barbeque sauce. I also drained the grease after cooking the ground beef and then added everything else, it just did not seem to make sense to add everything and then drain the grease. It took an hour to prepare before going into the oven, but I do have two very small children. Also the cornbread took twice the time to cook all the wat through and was still a little doughy. I took my husbands advie and turned the oven down to 350 so it would finish cooking without burning the cornbread. Next time I will only set it to 350 and just cook it a little longer. At 400 it cooks the top too fast but does not cook all the wat through. We will definetly make this again.
12/11/2008
very tasty. I added pepperjack cheese under the cornbread. I would say use 3 boxes of cornbread, too.
05/01/2011
We enjoyed this greatly! I pared it down a bit purely due to personal taste. I left out the onion and bell pepper, but used 1 cup barbecue sauce and 2 packages of cornbread mix. I added some pepper and garlic sauce to taste. Will definitely use this again!
03/31/2009
This is probably the best dish i've ever made, a huge hit with all my friends. To make a 5 star you definitely need to make a few adjustments to the recipe. I cut the recipe in half and only used 1 box of corn bread like everyone else. I did not drain the tomatoes and I used a whole can instead of half, I actually used a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles which game it a little more kick. THIS IS WHERE I THINK MADE IT A 5 STAR: I replaced the ground beef with 1 pound of BBQ pulled pork. I bought a package of Curley's Pulled Pork (which is already cooked) and cooked the veggies separately until tender and then just mixed the two in the baking pan while adding another cup or so of BBQ sauce and then cook according to the directions and enjoy!
10/27/2009
Fabulous recipe, quick and easy to make and delicious to eat! I did use more BBQ sauce and less cornbread just like most everyone else. I also added more spice to the meat & sauce. (I used garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, & black pepper.) My husband and I loved this and so did most of my kids. (The only one who didn't like it said it was too spicy.) I will definitely be making this again and often!
11/13/2011
Personally, I didn't care for this. The family liked it, but I wasn't a fan.
07/21/2009
This was not good at all - will not make this again
04/11/2010
This is simple, quick, and tasty. Some nights, that is all I want out of life! lol I've tried different sort of things to spice this up a bit since it's a little plain on its own.
04/30/2009
Great Dish. Definatly when ya add about 1/2 yellow and 1/2 red pepper and a small can of corn for more flavor and substance to it. I also used a honey BBQ sause to go with the sweet corn bread and its sooo good. Great for a Family or for a day of leftovers.
02/09/2009
This is a great family pleaser, even my kids loved it! I did cut the recipe in half (except bbq sauce) and added a layer of shredded cheese between the meat and cornbread. This recipe can easily adjust to ingredients you have on hand.
04/14/2012
Fantastic dish for a potluck or an evening meal. Always goes over well, but the secret is to use a BBQ sauce that you really like!
03/24/2009
This is a good recipe. My family and I enjoyed it. I've made it with both 1 lb of meat and 2 lbs of meat. It's fine either way. Using 1 lb makes this a very budget friendly meal. I only use 2 boxes of corn bread mix it would over flow if I used more than that. I like my cornbread moist so I always mix in at least 1/2 cup of prepared mashed potatoes into my corn bread batter. Since I used 2 boxes I mixed in a full cup of mashed potatoes. It makes a big difference.
01/12/2009
Great taste and value, not too time consuming and you get alot of food and taste for minimal effort. Very easy!!!
04/08/2011
This is a five-star recipe with just a few changes: 2 boxes of corn bread mix instead of 2; 3 cloves of garlic added with veggies; red bell pepper instead of green; 1 cup of barbeque sauce instead of 1/2; a few splashes of worcestshire sauce added to sauce
02/17/2009
It was ok....I added cheese which was super good, and also used the cornbread as a crust. I think i just wasnt in the BBQ mood, but my BF and his fam said it was good!!!
04/25/2013
Looks and smells amazing! Added more BBQ sauce and emmited the peppers. Also threw some shredded cheese on top and added a can of cream corn to the Jiffy cornbread mix--2 boxes was PLENTY! Will defintley make again!
09/07/2011
better than i expected. i may use more cornbread next time
03/08/2009
Really would have given the meal a 4.5 or 5 but only gave it a 3 because of all of the modifications I made. I added a can of red beans, as well as celery and salt-to-taste to the ground beef. I also added about a 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 10 dashes of tabasco sauce to spice it up a little. Gave it more of a chili vibe. Also, I added shredded colby-jack cheese to the top of the corn bread. Next time I might add some cheese to the ground beef mixture right before putting it in the oven. I did use 3 boxes of corn bread mix. Although I liked the massive amount of corn bread on top...we're talking about 2 inches of corn bread on top, my husband thought it was a little too much. Next time, I think I will try 2 boxes instead. Overall, with all of the changes, it turned out great. Will definitely make again since it was a really easy and convenient recipe.
04/22/2012
This was a very delicious meal if you like anything with BBQ sauce! I did do a little tweaking though! After I got done with this dish it was like a gourmet sloppy joe with a yummy crust on it lol :) ....I only used 1 pound of ground beef... I saw that to be plenty. I did use 1 cup of BBQ sauce. I drained my meat first. Then added my veggies and let them cook for a min or two to bring out their flavor. I didnt drain the can of diced tomatoes. Also, when cooking the ground beef I added some minced garlick, salt, pepper, and some red chili flakes. I put it in a 2 Qt casserole dish... When making my cornbread I only used 1 box of Jiffy Cornbread mix. I mixed in some diced green chilis and a little bit of colby jack cheese. This was a success!! My 3 year old started singing I tried it and now i like it!! Def a keeper!!!
09/18/2007
I split this recipe in half as it is just me & my husband. I cooked in an 8 X 8 casserole dish . I drained the grease prior to adding the veggies & used a a little bit extra BBQ sauce & only 1 pack of cornbread. I also added one clove of garlic for flavor. My husband & I both enjoyed it & will definitely make this dish again.
02/22/2011
I made a few changes which really made this great.... 1) I browned the ground beef with the onion and a few cloves of minced garlic. 2) Used a 12 oz. steamer bag of corn 3) Used a 28 oz. can of diced tomatoes 4) Used over a cup of BBQ sauce 5) drained the beef/onion/garlic BEFORE adding the corn and BBQ sauce 6) To taste added onion and garlic poweder 6) Add some shredded colby jack cheese 7) The biggest change was that I made an 8x8 pan of cornbread and just served the beef mixture over cut squares of bread. I highly recommend "Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread" from this site. This alleviates the complaint that half of the cornbread was cooked and half was still gooey.
03/03/2009
i added Worcestershire sauce, garlic and extra 1/2 cup bbq sauce. I tripled it for a big crowd and everyone loved it! I did use my own cornbread recipe instead of a box though.
09/01/2011
I loved this recipe. The package of meat I got was about 2 1/4# so I added an additional tomato chopped up. Also I used 2 boxes of corn muffin mix. Everything was perfect. I will definitely make this recipe again. I also think that instead of using bbq sauce this recipe could also be made with chili powder to make it like a chili casserole. There's lots you can do with this.
08/06/2010
Big hit with my kids who are picky eaters. My son even licked his plate:) Definite keeper! Thanks for sharing
12/30/2011
This was very good! Next time I make it I will use less packages of corn bread mix.
04/03/2012
Good flavor, but way too much cornbread. I'll make again with just two boxes of cornbread and perhaps add additional ingredients such as, jalapenos or black olives. Fun and easy recipe.
02/18/2009
I thought this recipe was really good! My husband liked it also. I took others advice and added some worst. sauce and garlic powder to the beef, and drained the beef before adding the vegetables. I didn't drain the tomatoes.. kept liquid. I also used 1 whole cup of BBQ sauce, and used 2 boxes of Jiffy cornbread mix. 2 boxes was perfect. This recipe made a lot, will have leftovers:) Turned out great, definitely will keep this recipe.
01/12/2010
This reciepe is very good, my girlfriend said next time instead of cornbread to try Grand Bisquick.
09/16/2008
My husband didn't read the note about cutting back on the cornbread- the night he made it, there was way too much cornbread but the next day all the juices soaked in and it was absolutely delicious! Definitely a recipe that gets better every day it's in the fridge! He added some BBQ sauce but it was really better to add the sauce yourself because we like different amounts, like you would with salad dressing or spaghetti sauce (if you're like me).
05/16/2006
I thought it was pretty good I would have just used 2 packages of corn bread and added a bit of liquid like v8 .. and honey on top of the cornbread , my husband said when he added the honey it made it a lot better .
05/02/2006
Gave this 4 stars! Added extra bbq sauce and also cut the corn bread by one box! Was very YUMMY and my boys (picky, picky) ate seconds! Will make again!
10/11/2008
This recipe was very attractive to me because of the ease of making it plus already having the ingredients in the house. I used 1 lb. ground turkey and a whole can of diced tomatoes with chilis, undrained. I added a dash of garlic powder, about 3/4 C. frozen whole kernel corn, and over half of an 18 oz. bottle of "original" flavor bbq sauce. My mixture was about the thickness of chili. I only used one box of cornbread mix, which was what I had on hand, and it was Jiffy brand (sweet). This created a crust about 1" thick, which was plenty for us. One reviewer cautioned against using sweet cornbread mixes, but I liked the way it tasted versus the zesty meat mixture. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by how easy and tasty this was, and I'll definitely make this again.
07/07/2005
I made this recipe with a few adjustments after reading the other reviews. I used 1 1/2 c. bbq sauce (so it wouldn't be dry) and used only 2 boxes of the corn bread (more than enough). I thought the recipe was just ok...tasted like something from a fast food restaurant. My mother liked it a lot, I on the other hand will not make it again, it was so so, sorry!
02/01/2009
This was GREAT. I used 1 box Jiffy cornbread mix and cut the ingredients in half except the can of diced tomato. This one is a keeper.
04/07/2006
I followed the recipe except added a cup of BBQ sauce instead of a half cup as per most suggestions. None of our family particularly liked this. It was just too weird with BBQ sauce. I'm wondering if Taco sauce might do better because of the cornbread, more of a Mexican type dish.
11/08/2010
Next time I'll make it in a deeper dish and use only two boxes of cornbread, as I thought it was just too much bread. But, will try again this way.
04/24/2009
Excellent recipe, especially when using the changes suggested by other viewers. My husband and I are trying to stay healthy, so we wanted to make this meal good for us as well as tasty. Changes we made: 1) Used 96% fat free beef--if it's available at your grocery store, get it! You don't have to worry about draining the grease off after cooking, and it tastes delicious. 2) Added Worcester sauce and two cloves on minced garlic when browning the meat 3) Used canned tomatoes diced with roasted garlic instead of plain tomatoes. 4) Did not drain the can of tomatoes before adding to the mixture. 5) Used 1 full cup of barbecue sauce (use your favorite sauce here, probably the runny-type sauces won't work as well) 6) Used only 1 bag of cornbread-perfect! 7) Added shredded fat free cheddar cheese to the top after spreading the cornbread mixture. When making this, it took a long time for the vegetables to soften once I added them. Next time I will add them before the beef is completely done. Also, I was worried that the mixture was too liquidy before I put it in the oven. I took out a couple spoonfuls of the liquid, then decided it was too much work. It turned out perfectly. My husband absolutely LOVED this recipe, and said it was his favorite new dish. We will be making this frequently!
02/03/2017
Good, but 3 boxes of cornbread is definitely over kill. 2 would have been fine. Added just a little more BBQ sauce. GF really liked it.
04/20/2009
I thought this would be deilcous, but no one in my family liked it. I gave it to my cusion who basically eats anything and everything, I will actually be surprised if he even eats it. I followed everyones suggestions, but I guess it is a very taste specific recipe.
09/23/2010
This was really good, and quite easy. I added peas, in addition to the corn, and I also jazzed up the cornbread topping with green chiles, 1/4 tsp. ground oregano, 1/4 tsp. cumin, and a pinch of sage.
08/10/2005
My husband liked this recipe, and I wasn't crazy about it. So I changed some of the ingredients to make it a Mexican Casserole. And we LOVE it!!! Thanks for the idea...
01/11/2009
I used 2 packages of cornbread and it was still WAY too much. The amount of meat mixture should be double the recipe, while the cornbread should be about 1/3 the recipe.
01/19/2012
I think we'll try 2 boxes of corn bread mix next time, there was a bit much of it on top. Other than that, It was a VERY good dish. Very filling! I also added 2 stalks of celery and it was very good in it.
01/11/2006
This was really easy and tasty. I used Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce, the best BBQ sauce ever! I left out the corn on accident. I turned around after it was done cooking and saw the can of corn still on the counter. I also added a cup of BBQ sauce to increase the flavor. The blend of corn bread and BBQ sauce will make your family gobble this up.
08/12/2009
I thought this was awesome. I invited over a few friends and they enjoyed it as well I did cut it down by a box of cornbread simply because I didn't think it would fit in the pan but it was awesome. Took a little longer for the center to cook but thats understandable as stoves vary. I am going to try adding a can of kidney beans to it next time just for kicks! Must try.
11/01/2009
I followed the suggestions of others and added some garlic and kept the tomato juices in. I upped the bbq sauce a little bit and cut back on the corn bread mix. But I still felt this was missing something. I think it needed some sort of a bite to it. If I ever make it again I'd probably add some jalapeno peppers to it.
10/06/2013
I used the full amount of cornbread mix and even after 45min, it wasn't completely cooked in the middle. Next time I will cut the cornbread mixture in half. Otherwise, it tasted amazing.
02/22/2011
Loved the flavor. Only used 1 lb. ground beef. Upped the bbq sauce to 2/3 c. Kids didn't like the onions so might leave out next time or cut back. Only used 2 boxes of corn muffin mix. Easy to make so we will add it to our list.
05/04/2008
Very good! Halved the recipe, added garlic to the meat/veggies mix, added some Texas Pete sauce, and substituted a can of tomatoes with jalepeno chilies for the plain tomatoes (used a full can). Used only 1 box of cornbread mix (Jiffy is the best!). Hubby liked it, said he wouldn't change a thing!
01/15/2009
I liked it, my best friend thought it was weird, and my husband thought it tasted disgusting. Definitely cut the corn bread in half and add more BBQ sauce.
05/30/2007
I made this tonight and it was good and simple-perfect for me. I used 3 boxes of cornbread mix because when I put 2 on per the other reviewers suggestions, it seemed very thin. Being a bread fan, I added the other box. BIG MISTAKE. Trust me, don't do this, the ratio is now like 3/4 bread, 1/4 mixture.... I will make it with only 2 next time, lesson learned, otherwise, yummy!
05/14/2013
I really enjoyed this recipe, granted I did change some aspects based on ingredients I already purchased and owning smaller pans. I spiced and cooked the meat, drained off the grease and added BBQ sauce (1 cup) and tomatoes. In a separate pan, I cooked my bags of frozen corn and frozen onion/peppers. I put the meat in my pan first, threw in some cheese, then the veggies, mixed it all up, and threw in a little more BBQ sauce (because I love the stuff). Then I tried all 3 boxes of cornbread because I'm a big fan of my carbs, but I can definitely see why people thought that was a lot. However, it may have been more difficult to fully cover the casserole without 3 boxes. I'm looking forward to leftovers!

Yummy! I doubled this recipe, kept one for my family and took one over to a friend who was recovering from surgery. My family gave it 10 stars, and my friends said her family loved it as well! This will definitely go in my recipe box, as well as be added to my list of dinners that I can make for family and friends in need.

I probably won't make this again. Doesn't specify what kind of BBQ Sauce to use. I used Kraft Original but it turned out waaaay too sweet. My husband and kids would not eat it either.

The family did NOT like this. Mostly is was the BBQ sauce. I felt it was ok. I've done a similar recipe in the past without BBQ sauce and it was better. A different sauce would likely make a difference, but I'll likely stick with my old method/version instead. 2.5 stars.

Recipe is a great idea, but would make a few changes, I agree that there should be more sauce, but I just added a little bit of chili to the mixture instead of more BBQ. Also this recipe would be GREAT if you used shredded beef instead of ground beef! But over all a WONDERFUL recipe.

Surprisingly good! I followed another reviewer's suggestion and added Worcestershire sauce to the beef and onions. I also doubled the amount of barbecue sauce. It made great leftovers for lunch the next day.

I just don't think the flavors melded well together. I DID follow the original recipe, and I do believe the recipe would be better following the advice from these ratings. (1.Drain right after browning meat, 2. Extra barbeque sauce, 3. Less than 3 boxes of CB mix) I do believe it may have been a little better than, but not something I'd make more than once. No one liked it.

Very good, but it wasn't a favorite of everyones

Easy, very good. did cut back on cornbread mix.

I should have read other reviews before I make this. It was a great idea, but need to modify few things to my taste. 1. way way too much corn bread. I would only used one box next time. 2. need some spices. black peper and jalapeno pepper would probably help. 3. more BBQ sauce. increase to about 1 cup. I am even thinking making mashd potato to lay at the bottom of the pan. I will have to update the outcome after I do this.-Update: I've just made some cheesy mashed potato on the side and eat it with. It provide some saltiness and moisture. To me it worked much better. I will do the mashed potato layer next time I will make for sure:-)

I like all the ingredients, so I thought I would like this. I'm glad I cooked this on a night my husband wasn't home. My children and I didn't like it. Whatever you do, DON'T use sweet corn bread.

This is very yummy! I did halve it and put it in an 8x8 dish. I did use the whole can of tomatoes, undrained as several reviews suggested, but it was a little too soupy. Next time I would maybe drain off 1/2 of the liquid. I used about 1/2 cup of frozen corn and 1/2 cup BBQ sauce. I sprinkled "Fiesta Blend" shredded cheese on top of the meat mixture and used 1 box of Jiffy corn muffin mix. Turned out great!

It looked wonderful, just like the picture. There was a little taste missing, maybe more spices and more Barbecue sauce would have made it a little tastier. Was overall good.

Terrific recipe for folks look for a quick weeknight meal. I only used two boxes of corn bread mix. I think three would have been too bready. I also made with 85% ground beef to cut the fat. Simple and tasty. My family enjoyed it.

This recipe turned out great! I added TWO extra ingredients: bacon and hamburger pickles. I think adding bacon and the pickles really boosted the taste overall.

Really good taste.

My whole family LOVED this ! I made few changed though, used only 1lb of beef but 1/2 cup of bbq sauce. and used Rotel diced tomatoes with chillies. I added them with juices. I only used 1 package of corn bread, but 2 would be better ! THANK YOU for the recipie

Hubby did not like ALL that much, I used a cup of BBQ sauce and he felt it needed more. 2 boxes cornbread mix is enough.

This is a keeper for my family. I also used two boxes of mix and tomatoes with green chiles. I used a huge onion and green pepper, and added garlic. The cornbread was a little sweet, so I'll look for a mix that is not so sweet. Thanks for the great, easy recipe!
