Sloppy Jose Supper

From Taste of Home



Ingredients:
1 package (8-1/2 ounces) corn bread/muffin mix
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 celery rib, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1-1/4 cups salsa
2 tablespoons chili sauce
2/3 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
sour cream

Directions:
Prepare and bake corn bread according to package directions.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, red pepper, onion and celery over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the garlic, chipotle pepper, chili powder and cumin; cook 1 minute longer.

Stir in salsa and chili sauce; simmer for 3-5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Cut corn bread into nine squares; save four pieces for another use. Top each square of remaining corn bread with 2/3 cup beef mixture and 2 tablespoons cheese. Dollop with sour cream.

Comments:
This was good, but it made us both sick. Not sure if it was bad meat, bad something, but I just threw out the leftovers because neither of us wanted to risk it.
