Make the cornbread according to package directions.

In a Dutch oven or extra large frying pan, brown the ground beef with salt and pepper over medium to high heat. Saute the onion and garlic until softened. Add the tomatoes, beans, enchilada sauce, corn, chili powder and cumin. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer for 10-15 minutes.
