To make this tasty casserole, start by cooking onion and red bell pepper. Add ground beef, garlic, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper and cook until the beef is browned. Add corn and some of the shredded Mexican cheese blend and mix well. Pour the sauce into a casserole dish and cover with a thin layer of salsa. Make a corn bread mixture and place it on top of the salsa layer. Top with the remaining shredded Mexican cheese blend and bake in the oven until brown on top.
