1 cup cornmeal
-
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
-
1/3-1/2 cup milk
-
1 large egg, beaten
-
-
2 dashes chili powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups whole kernel corn

1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In medium saucepan,add the first four ingredients, saute onions, garlic.
- Then add flour and mix well. Add pinto beans and tomato sauce. Heat until hot and simmering. Do not burn.
- Preheat oven 350°F.
- Spray Pam in a glass 9X13 pan or glass 8 X12 pan.
- Mix batter base and topping.
- Pour 3/4's of batter in the bottom of pan.
- Batter should be runny.
- Add 1 cup shredded cheese over the batter.
- Add contents of saucepan by spoonful.
- Sprinkler the chili powder.
- Add whole kernel corn by spoonful.
- Drizzle the balance of cornmeal batter across lengthwise in thin lines.
- Sprinkle 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese on the top.
- Bake 35 minutes. Batter will rise up on the sides of the pan and encase the filling. The top should just start to brown and when pushed spring back.
- To serve this with the serving in tact, cool for at least 15 minutes.
- Note: For one can of whole kernel corn, drained, add 1 tbsp margarine or butter and 1 tbsp evaporated milk if desired. Or, 2 frozen cobs of corn, microwaved, cut the corn off the cop, add the butter and milk.
- This dish keeps well in the freezer.
- You can add cumin, cilantro or any ground cooked meat if desired but I serve as a vegetarian dish. You may also add sliced olives.
