Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9”x9” baking dish or 10-inch oven safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion and cook until beef is browned and no longer pink, stirring often. Drain any grease from the pan.

Step 3

To the beef, stir in tomatoes, corn, olives, chiles, chili powder, garlic powder and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened; about 10 minutes. Pour the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a medium sized bowl, stir together the cornmeal, milk, sugar and eggs just until combined. Spread evenly over the beef mixture in the pan, then top evenly with the cheese.

Step 5

Bake uncovered in the preheated 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes. Top should be golden brown and the sauce should be bubbling up on the sides.

Step 6

Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and sliced green onions if desired.

Step 7

Top individual servings with sour cream and parsley or chives for garnish, if desired.
