Instructions

  1. 1

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, green pepper, and garlic for about 8 minutes until the beef is browned, breaking it up as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Stir in the chili powder, tomatoes, corn, kidney beans, 1 tsp salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, then turn the mixture into a greased casserole dish and set aside.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a saucepan, scald the milk with the butter and 1/4 tsp salt over medium heat until steaming. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly.

  4. 4

    Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and egg until smooth.

  5. 5

    Spread the cornmeal topping evenly over the chili in the casserole.

  6. 6

    Bake for about 35 minutes until the topping is set and lightly golden.
