👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add onion and red bell pepper; saute until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.

Add ground beef, garlic, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.

Mix corn into the beef mixture and toss to defrost, about 3 minutes.

Drain and discard fat.

Add about 1/4 of the shredded Mexican cheese blend and mix well.

Pour meat sauce into a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Cover meat with a thin layer of salsa.

Combine cornmeal, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
