Corn Bread Tamale Pie

Preheat the oven to 425°.

Saute together the ground beef and onion.

When the meat is lightly browned, add the soup, water, pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, chili powder, corn and green pepper. Simmer all together for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix together the corn meal, flour, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and baking powder. Moisten with egg and milk.

Mix lightly and fold in the cooking oil.

Place meat mixture in a greased 2-quart casserole and cover with the corn bread topping.

(When I'm in a hurry, I omit the last 3 steps and just use a Jiffy boxed corn bread mix.)

Place in oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until corn bread is brown.
