Printable Recipe

1 pound, lean ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 chipotle chilies,  from can chipotle in adobo (these can be quite spicy, you might want to start with one and taste before you add the second one - I thought 2 chilies gave this dish a medium level of heat but your tolerance level might be different than mine)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup grated Cheddar
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Cornbread topping~

½ cup melted butter
1 cup cornmeal
½ cup sour cream
1 (8-oz) can cream-style corn (I used Del Monte)
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp baking powder
2 tablespoons honey or sugar

     Preheat oven to 400°F.
     Brown the ground beef, onions, green peppers and garlic until the meat is cooked through.  Drain off any excess fat.
     Add the cumin, beans, tomatoes, chilies, tomato paste, chili powder and salt.  Stir to combine.  Cook over medium heat until heated through and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.  Remove pan from heat and stir in the cheese and cilantro.  Transfer mixture to a lightly greased 9" X 13" baking pan.  Spread out evenly.  Set aside.
     Combine cornbread topping ingredients in a medium bowl until well mixed.  Spread batter evenly over meat mixture.
     Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cornbread is golden brown and tests done. 
     Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.

Serves 6-8.
