(You can add a can of drained corn to the muffin mix before rising, if you like.) Spread half of the muffin mix onto the bottom of a jelly roll baking pan (8"x12" or so). Crumble all the ground beef on top of the muffin mix. Add the jalapenos, if desired. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese. Pour the remainder of the muffin mix on top of the cheese and smooth out.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cornbread is done in the middle.
Our kids like this with extra salsa and sour cream.
