  1                cup  onion -- diced
     1/4           cup  green bell pepper -- diced
  1                cup  creamed corn -- low calorie
     1/4           cup  black olives -- sliced
  1                cup  tomato sauce
  1         tablespoon  chili powder
  1           teaspoon  salt
     1/4      teaspoon  black pepper
     1/2           cup  cheddar cheese -- shredded
 

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. For Crust: Combine cornmeal, salt, evaporated skim milk and water in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat, whisking frequently (to avoid lumps) until thick (7 minutes). Remove 1/2 cup of mixture and cover with plastic wrap (if you don't the mixture will harden too fast). Spread remaining mixture on bottom and sides of greased 8 inch square baking dish. Bake in oven for 10 minutes. (If you want, at this point you can start making the filling) Remove. For the Filling: Brown the ground beef, garlic, onion and bell pepper in a large skillet; drain. Add corn, olives, tomato sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper; mix well. Spoon into cornmeal crust. Drop rounded teaspoons of remaining cornmeal mixture on top of meat; sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven and bake for 15 minutes.
