Ingredients:

32 ounces black beans/kidney beans

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup skim milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 dash salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 dash chili pepper
1 large egg white
1/2 cup corn kernels

Fold in the corn kernels, and spread batter over bean mixture and bake at 375F for 25 minutes.
