If you happen to follow along with me on Instagram then you know for the past couple weeks I’ve been working hard on my personal clean out the pantry/fridge/freezer challenge. In an effort to not constantly be running to the grocery store I’ve been putting the thinking cap on and creating some great budget friendly meals out of things that I have on hand like this Pork Enchilada Cornbread Bake!
So I had remembered that a while back I bought a large pork loin and cut it into different cuts to really stretch it out. I used half the loin a couple weekends ago to make Tacos al Pastor for a BBQ but I still had about 2 lbs of diced pork in the freezer. I checked what I had in the pantry and came across a can of enchilada sauce, a can of corn and a box of cornbread mix and voila!
Such simple ingredients and here this meal turned out to be a big hot with the family! Super easy too! I threw the frozen diced pork into the slow cooker with 1 diced red bell pepper and a can of enchilada sauce. Cooked on low for 7 hours. Then to assemble I simply layered the meat into a baking dish. Mixed the cornbread mix according to the box instructions with the addition of a can of corn and spread that over the meat. Sprinkled a good amount of shredded 4 cheese Mexican blend and some scallion. Pop in the oven until the cornbread is cooked through and dinner is set!
