This Crock Pot Mexican Cornbread Casserole recipe is the 200th crock pot recipes I have shared. Let’s celebrate together with a Mexican fiesta!

Mexican casseroles are delicious. Mexican food happens to be my favorite food.

This casserole is made with ground beef, shredded cheese, green chilies sandwiched in between two layers of real cornbread.

Boxed cornbread mix is good in a pinch but if you want the authentic flavors of a Mexican cornbread you’ll need to start with real cornmeal.
