Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • ½ pound ground beef

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 cup milk

  • ½ cup yellow cornmeal

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch baking or casserole dish.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in corn, tomatoes, oil, chili powder, and cumin. Bring to a boil; remove from heat.
