Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Warm up a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble and cook the ground beef, stirring until it's fully browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, salt, and baking soda. Incorporate the corn, milk, Cheddar cheese, onion, jalapeños, and egg. Then, stir in the cooked ground beef until well combined. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top turns a beautiful golden brown, approximately 1 hour.
