Pinto Bean Casserole (Yes, I'm serious)

I know it sounds weird, but it was actually really good. It's basically a meal in one dish, which is nice too! Think chili casserole. This is adapted from some ladies talking about it at school, and once again, I forgot the exact recipe, and made up my own :)

1 can of pinto beans
1 jar of salsa or canned tomatoes
1 - 2 lbs of ground beef or turkey (I used turkey)
1 bag of cheese (cheddar or mexican blend or something like that)
1 box of cornbread mix

Brown ground beef/turkey. Then put pinto beans on the bottom of a pan, and cover with meat. Then layer with salsa or canned tomatoes. Then sprinkle cheese. Mix cornbread according to directions and spread on top. Cook on 400 for 30 minutes until cornbread is done.

We enjoyed this meal... not our favorite meal in the whole world, but it was good and hearty!
