Ingredients

Filling Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef

1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

1 medium (1/2 cup) onion, chopped

1 (16-ounce) jar mild thick and chunky salsa

1 (11-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

1 to 2 tablespoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon chili powder

=============================

Crust Ingredients:

1 cup yellow cornmeal

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk*

2 tablespoons butter, melted

2 eggs, slightly beaten

8 ounces (2 cups) Cheddar Cheese, shredded

1/2 cup sliced ripe olives, drained

===================================

Topping Ingredients:

Sour Cream, if desired

Salsa, if desired

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Cook ground beef in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink (10 to 12 minutes); drain. Stir in all remaining filling ingredients. Reduce heat to low. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes; set aside.

Meanwhile, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Stir in buttermilk, butter and eggs just until moistened. Spread on bottom of greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese. Spread meat mixture evenly over cheese. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and olives. Continue baking for 3 to 4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

*Substitute 1 tablespoon vinegar plus enough milk to equal 1 cup.

Can the crust simply be substituted with box cornbread instead of making a homemade crust, just because I am on a budget.
