Ingredients:


1 1/2 cups granburger

1 1/4 cups hot water

2 teaspoons corn oil

1/2 cup green pepper

1/2 cup onion

1 clove garlic pressed

12 ounces whole kernel corn

6 ounces tomato paste

1 1/2 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon chili powder -- optional

2 teaspoons sugar

4 ounces grated american cheese

3/4 cup cornmeal

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups cold water
 

Preparation / Directions:


Rehydrate granburger in 1 1/4 cups hot water for 10 minutes. Pour a little corn oil into a large skillet. Saute green pepper, onion, garlic and rehydrated granburger in the oil till vegetables are tender. Add corn, tomato paste, 1 1/2 cups water, salt, chili powder, and sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add cheese. Stir till cheese is melted. Pour granburger mixture into a 2 quart casserole. In a sauce pan, stir together cornmeal, salt, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring till mixture is thickened - about 10 minutes. Spoon cornmeal mixture over granburger mixture in the casserole. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes.

As a variation, substitute 2 cups crushed corn chips for the cornmeal mixture. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 15 minutes.
