Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 15 ounces tomato sauce
• 1 cup canned corn, drained
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato sauce, canned corn, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar.

Step 6

Add the milk, beaten egg, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.

Step 7

Spread the cornbread batter evenly over the beef mixture in the dish. If using shredded cheddar cheese, sprinkle it on top of the batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Allow the pie to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Hamburger Corn Pone Pie!
