Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef

2 small onions, chopped

3T chile powder, mild to medium-hot, like ancho or pasilla

3/4 cup medium-grind yellow cornmeal

1 1/4 cups whole milk

2 large eggs, beaten

1 tsp salt

pinch ground cumin

1 (16oz) can stewed tomatoes, drained and chopped

3-4 ears fresh corn off the cob, 2 cups frozen corn, or 1 can drained whole kernel corn

1 (14oz) can pitted ripe black olives, drained and coarsely chopped or halved

1 1/2 cups cheddar or combination cheddar/Monterey jack, shredded

1-2T olive oil

Directions

Coat the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.

Brown the beef and onions until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is limp.

Drain fat from the pan and sprinkle the meat with the chile powder.

Cook for 1 minute, then transfer to the slow cooker.

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, milk, egg, salt, and cumin until smooth.

Stir in the tomatoes, corn, and olives, then pour into the cooker and stir to combine all the ingredients.

Cover and cook on high 3-4 hours. (I don't see why cooking it on low for 7-8 hours wouldn't work.)

Sprinkle the cheese over the top, drizzle with oil, cover, and continue to cook, on high for 10 more minutes, to melt the cheese.
