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.
