CORNBREAD:

• 1 ½ cups cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ⅔ cup vegetable oil

•  
  1 can creamed corn
• 2 medium eggs - lightly beaten
•  
  2 medium jalapeno chilis - sliced, for some kick

FILLING:

• 1 pound ground beef (minced beef) - lean
• 2 cloves garlic - minced

  1 medium green bell pepper - chopped

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 350°F/175°C.

• Saute the onions, peppers and garlic in the pan before adding your ground beef and cooking it through.
• Drain away any excess fat/grease and mix through the cumin, tomatoes, chili powder, salt & pepper. Once thoroughly stirred, you can turn the heat off.
