"This is a good dish to make when you're feeling homesick. Adapted from the Alber's Corn Meal package, circa 1950. This is a good make-ahead dish."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a deep casserole dish, at least 9 x 9.

Step 2

Cook beef until slightly browned, drain. Then add onions, garlic and salt and continue to cook until onions are translucent. Add remaining filling ingredients, bring to a boil, then simmer.

Step 3

Meanwhile, bring 4 cups water, chili powder and salt to a boil. Mix corn meal with 3/4 cup cold water, then add to boiling water, whisking to reduce lumps. Cook until thick, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Line casserole dish with a 1" layer of corn mush. Pour in meat filling. Spread remaining mush on top.

Step 5

Bake for 30 minutes, sprinkle with cheese and bake 15 minutes more, or until done.
