Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or bison
- 1 (15.0-ounce) can ranchero beans
- 1 (16.0-ounce) jar medium salsa

- 1 egg
- 1 1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1 (4.0-ounce) can diced mild green chiles (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a large skillet, brown meat, breaking up any large pieces.
Drain well and return to stove.
Add beans and salsa, stir to combine and simmer over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes.
Let cool slightly then spoon into a 9x12-inch casserole dish.
Prepare cornbread batter according to package directions, using egg, buttermilk, butter and green chiles, if desired.
