Ingredients
-
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
Directions
-
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.
