Mexican Taco Casserole

This is a recipe I found online and tweeked a bit.  Delicious!

2 pounds ground beef
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1 8 oz. can of tomato sauce or 1 jar salsa
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium bell pepper, diced
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 4 oz. can sliced black olives or 1 can red or pinto beans, drained and rinsed.  You could add both.
1 pkg. Jiffy Cornbread Mix
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
8 oz. shredded taco cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Brown ground beef in a large skillet with diced onion and diced bell pepper.  When brown, add tomato sauce and taco seasoning.  Simmer 5 minutes.  Add corn and black olives.  Mix well.  Pour into a greased casserole dish.  Mix cornbread mix with egg and milk.  Pour on top of meat mixture.  Bake 20 minutes until cornbread is lightly golden brown.  Top with cheese.  Bake 5 more minutes to fully melt cheese.  Top with green onions and sour cream if you like.
