Ingredients

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 ½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cold water
3 cups boiling water
2 jalapeño peppers, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (28-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, drained
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons each, cumin and oregano
1 (14.5-ounce) can pinto beans, drained
1 (14.5-ounce) can whole-kernel corn, drained
1 pound ground beef, cooked

Tips & Notes

Go fresh! Substitute 1 cup cooked pinto beans, 1 cup cooked corn or 2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes for the canned versions.

Instructions

Make cornmeal mush by combining cornmeal, salt and cold water. Whisk the boiling water into the mush and cook 25 minutes over a double boiler, whisking occasionally.
Saute together the jalapeno peppers, onion, bell pepper and garlic in the vegetable oil until soft.
Add the tomatoes, chili powder, cumin and oregano.
In a cast iron skillet, spread half of the mush. Layer the pinto beans, corn, and ground beef.
Cover with tomato filling mixture. Spread remaining mush on top. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes.

I lived in Arizona for a few years and had something pretty close to this on a couple of occasions. They spiced it up with a little Tabasco and extra chili powder. Very good indeed.
