Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup white cornmeal; 4 cups water; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 2 pounds lean ground beef; 1/2 cup chopped onion; 1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper; 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained; 2 tablespoons chili powder; 1 tablespoon salt; 1/2 cup tomato sauce; 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Servings: persons

1 cup white cornmeal
4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
6
Spoon remaining cornmeal mush over top. Again, it should be thin enough to spread, but certainly not watery.
7
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.
