(Note: I made some changes to the amounts from when I first posted this. I was going on memory before.)
Brown and drain 1-1 1/2 lbs. of hamburger and some diced onion (1/2 c. or more).
Add:
2 cans of diced tomatoes
1 can corn (drained)
2 Tb. Chili Powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. garlic (I use fresh; 2-3 gloves)
1 Tbl. hot sauce
1/2 c. grated cheese
Simmer above while making the crust below (about 20 minutes).
In a sauce pan, mix 2 1/2 c. water and 1 1/4 c. of cornmeal. Add 1 tsp. of chili powder and 1 tsp. salt.
Stir constantly over medium heat until it thickens. Line the bottom and sides of a greased 9x13 pan with the cornmeal mixture to make a crust. Pour in the meat mixture and top the middle with 1/2 c. of grated cheese. (I like to spread a small amount of the crust over the top in each corner for those who like more crust.)
Bake for 40 minutes in 350 degree oven.
