Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup white cornmeal
4 cups water
½ teaspoon salt
2 pounds lean ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
⅓ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon salt
½ cup tomato sauce
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
  • In a saucepan, bring water to boil and add the 1/2 teaspoon salt. Slowly add the cornmeal and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Pour 2/3 of the hot cornmeal mush into a 2 quart casserole dish. Using the spoon, bring it up the sides as far as it will reach. If mush is too thick to spread, add a little boiling water.
  • In a large frying pan, cook, but don't brown, the ground beef, breaking it up into crumbs as it cooks. Add onion and green pepper and cook 5 minutes longer.
  • Add corn (with its liquid), chili powder, salt and tomato sauce, heat until very hot and pour mixture into the casserole dish lined with cornmeal mush.
  • Spoon remaining cornmeal mush over top. Again, it should be thin enough to spread, but certainly not watery.
  • Top with grated cheese and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cheese is melted and browned.
