Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1/2 lb. fresh chorizo, casings removed
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 14.5 oz. can chopped tomatoes
• 19 oz. can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 to 2 tbsp. adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle chiles)
• 2 8.5-oz. boxes corn muffin mix, plus required ingredients
• 3 cups grated pepper Jack

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400. Heat the vegetable oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper.

2. Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until the vegetables start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, beans and adobo sauce and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer.

3. Prepare the corn muffin batter as directed. Stir in 2 cups of the cheese.

4. Remove the skillet from the heat and dollop the corn muffin batter over the meat mixture. Spread evenly, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges of the pan so it doesn’t spill over in the oven. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

5. Place the skillet on a baking sheet and bake until the topping is golden brown and cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly, 15-20 minutes. Let sit for a few minutes before serving.
