This zesty cowboy skillet casserole is made up of meat, beans, and bell peppers and topped with sweet cornbread. A great, fast family pleaser or potluck dish. Depending on the crowd you're trying to please, you may want to jazz it up: Bulk up the meat mixture with extra veggies, add Cheddar cheese, and jalapeño peppers. You can also add chili powder to the cornbread.
