Calories: 302kcal
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 1 cup coarse ground cornmeal
- 5 cups water , divided
- Kosher or fine sea salt
- 1½ cups shredded Mexican-style cheese blend , plus more for garnish (or dairy-free substitute)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large yellow onion , chopped
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free taco seasoning , to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Chopped scallions and cilantro , for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush bottom and side of an 8-inch springform pan with olive oil; set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine cornmeal, 4 cups of water, and a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring often, until firm enough for a wooden spoon to leave a trail when lifted. Stir in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the cheese. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spoon into the greased pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until firm. Let cool completely before removing the sides of the pan.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine beef and onion and sauté until the meat is browned and onion is tender, about 6-8 minutes.
- Season to taste with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Add in 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes or until thickened.
- Place cornbread on a large serving platter and top with ground beef mixture. Garnish with chopped scallions, cilantro, and cheese, if desired.
Notes
Note: If you don’t mind adding an additional ingredient, making this a 6-ingredient recipe, I recommend thickening your gravy with cornstarch. Make a slurry by whisking 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water and add it in with the rest of the water.
