This one skillet meal is hearty and filling and delicious! It’s got beef, kidney beans, corn and green beans in a chili tomato sauce and it’s baked with a cornbread topping that has been sprinkled with cheese. You’re going to love how easy this one pot meal is to put together and that you’ll only have a few dishes to clean! Make sure to watch the youtube video below to see me making the recipe.

Notes/Tips
- We served this as a one skillet meal but if you’d like to serve something on the side consider some fresh fruit, green salad or raw veggies and dip.
- I used my 6 quart oven safe to 350 degrees Farberware pan*. You can also use a cast iron pan*. If you don’t have an oven safe pan you can transfer the beef mixture to a baking dish and then add cornbread batter on top and bake.
- Measuring spoons I love*.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Other recipes you can make with picante sauce are Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo Salsa Pasta and Instant Pot 5-Ingredient Salsa Chicken.

Hi Karen,
It seems like a short time ago you posted a recipe for a pork tenderloin made in the Instant Pot. It was really good & I seemed to have misplaced the recipe.
I wonder if it would be possible to have you send me the recipe at your earliest convenience. I would really appreciate that. Please let me know if that is possible. Thank you
Linda
