Southern Hamburger Pie

From Mary Ferguson

1 lb ground Beef
1 large onion chopped
1/2 green pepper chopped
1/4 cup butter or marg.
1 can tomato soup
1 3/4 cups water
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black Pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1 cup fresh or canned whole kernel corn, drained

Saute the onion and green pepper in butter. Remove and brown the ground beef until it looses its red color. Combine the two mixtures and add the soup, the water, the corn and the seasonings. Mix well and simmer for 20 min. Pour into a greased casserole dish filling the dish about 3/4 full and top with the following topping.

Topping:
3/4 cup cormeal
2 Tbs. flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbs. sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 large egg beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/8 cup oil

Mix dry ingredients together, add egg, then add milk. It needs to be a little runny, if you need to make it a little more so add a little melted butter or marg. then pour the topping over the meat mixture and try to cover as much of it as possible with it. Bake in a 400˚ F oven for 20 min. or until topping is done (cornbread starts to be golden).
