Preheat oven to 375ºF. Spray a 9×13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Then add onion, green pepper, black beans, corn, tomatoes, harissa, chili powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, and garlic powder. Give it a good stir and cook for another 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese.
Next, pour the butternut squash mixture into the casserole dish and cover the top with the prepared cornbread batter (you’ll typically need milk and eggs, as directed in mix package). Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until the cornbread mixture on top is nice and golden brown. Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
