ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
Sauce
1 can (14 ounce size) crushed tomatoes
1 cup water, or use beef stock
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chili powder or to taste
1 cup drained whole kernel corn
1/2 cup seeded and chopped green bell pepper
Cornbread Topping
1 1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 beaten eggs
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion and cook, stirring, until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain off the fat.
Add the tomatoes, water, pepper, salt, chili powder, corn, and bell pepper to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and oil and whisk well to combine. Stir the egg mixture into the cornmeal mixture and mix until combined.
Place the beef mixture in a 2-quart baking pan. Pour the cornbread batter evenly over the top.
Place the pan in the oven, uncovered, and bake at 425 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until the cornbread is baked and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

This is a wonderful recipe! I don't know how you could say it was bland when it's got 1 tb of chili powder in it. I thought it had lots of flavor. The only change I made was to use mexicorn instead of regular corn.

This recipe is really good. I will make it again and again. My whole family loved it. I was lazy and used corn bread mix instead of the corn bread recipe on instructions, but left the meat mixture like the recipe says, still turned out GOOD!!

I cook for a battered women's shelter and am always looking for casserole type recipes for the weekend meals. I came across this recipe and it looked really easy and simple. It smells amazing when it's cooking. The only thing that I did different than the original recipe was that I didn't add the water/stock to the recipe, to help keep it from being too mushy/soupy. It turned out perfect.
