Stir in the beans and fajita seasoning and heat through.

In a separate bowl, mix the Jiffy mix with milk and egg and spread over the top of the bean mixture. You can spread it all the way to the edge or leave the edges peeking for a bit of color.

Tips and Recipe Variations

  • Instead of ground beef, use ground sausage, ground turkey or ground chicken.
  • Use taco seasoning instead of fajita seasoning.
  • Add a can of diced green chiles.
  • Add a zesty kick with some diced jalapeno peppers.
  • Add whole kernel corn to the bean mixture.
  • Try different flavor varieties of baked beans. I usually use my go-to vegetarian, but a spicy version would be yummy!
  • You could also replace the bean mixture with leftover homemade chili.
