Ingredients

• 1 c yellow cornmeal
• 2 1/4 c cold water + 1 bouillon cube (or use broth)
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• 4 tsp chili powder
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp salt
• Dash pepper
• 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
• 1 can Ro-Tel original (I have also used DelMonte tomatoes with mild chiles)
• ½ bag frozen kernel corn
• 1 can black beans, rinsed
• FF or soy cheddar shreds

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350*. Spray a 9 x 13" casserole pan with Pam.

Bring 2-1/4 cups water plus bouillon cube to a boil. Stir in cornmeal, and whisk until fairly thick and most lumps are gone (just a few minutes). Spread into bottom of casserole pan and set aside.

Brown beef, onion, and green pepper. Add chili powder, garlic, salt and pepper, and mix well. Add tomato paste, Ro-Tel, corn, and black beans.

Spread over the cornmeal crust and top evenly with cheese. Bake 20-25 minutes at 350*.
