Steps:
- 1. PREPARE CHILI:
- 2. Heat ~ 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet set to medium heat.
- 3. Add onions once oil is hot and sauté until onions are fragrant and translucent. Add pepper and garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
- 4. Add beef and cook until meat is browned.
- 5. Once meat is browned, immediately add tomatoes and their juices. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne and salt. Simmer until mixture is slightly thickened.
- 6. Remove from heat and place in a 1 ½ qt. casserole dish. Allow to cool a bit as you make the crust.
- 7. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
- 8. FOR THE CORNMEAL CRUST:
- 9. Sift together flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
- 10. Gradually incorporate cold butter pieces with a pastry cutter, fork or your hands. Continue to incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- 11. Add ¼ cup very cold water and mix very lightly with your hands. If the dough sticks together enough to form a ball, you have enough water. If there is still dough at the bottom of your bowl, add more water, 1 Tbsp at a time until you can form a ball with the dough.
- 12. On a well-floured surface, roll the ball out to create a circle that is slightly larger than your casserole dish.
- 13. Place flattened dough on top of casserole dish, so sides hang over slightly. Turn the overhanging dough under and pinch around the sides of your dish.
- 14. Cut three slits in the middle of the pie to allow steam to escape.
- 15. Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
