1 Prepare the Ingredients
Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.
Mince garlic.Stem poblano pepper, seed, and cut into 1/2" dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping. -
2 Make the Cornbread Batter
Set aside 2 Tbsp. cornbread mix.
Combine remaining cornbread mix, 1/4 cup water, cheddar cheese, and green portions of green onions (reserve a pinch for garnish) in a mixing bowl. Stir, adding additional water 2 Tbsp. at a time, until fully combined and a thick, spreadable batter forms. -
3 Start the Filling
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef, poblano pepper, seasoning blend, garlic, white portions of green onions, and a pinch of pepper to hot, dry pan. Stir occasionally until no pink remains on ground beef and ground beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-6 minutes. -
4 Finish the Filling
Add corn, Worchestershire, and reserved 2 Tbsp. cornbread mix to hot pan. Cook until poblano softens, 1-2 minutes.
Add 1 cup water. Stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.Remove from burner. -
5 Bake the Pie
Transfer filling to prepared casserole dish. You may also use a cast iron skillet. Top filling with cornbread batter, using a spatula dipped in water or sprayed with cooking spray to smooth top. Don't worry if your cornbread layer is thin!
