Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
In a saucepan, bring water to boil and add the 1/2 teaspoon salt. Slowly add the cornmeal and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Pour 2/3 of the hot cornmeal mush into a 2 quart casserole dish. Using the spoon, bring it up the sides as far as it will reach. If mush is too thick to spread, add a little boiling water.
In a large frying pan, cook, but don't brown, the ground beef, breaking it up into crumbs as it cooks.
Add onion and green pepper and cook 5 minutes longer.
Add corn (with its liquid), chili powder, salt and tomato sauce, heat until very hot and pour mixture into the casserole dish lined with cornmeal mush.
Spoon remaining cornmeal mush over top. Again, it should be thin enough to spread, but certainly not watery.
Top with grated cheese and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cheese is melted and browned.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose
Mexican on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Wild Horse Unbridled Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 24 dollars per bottle.
Wild Horse Unbridled Pinot Noir
This Unbridled Pinot Noir has generous cherry, blackberry and vanilla aromas withsubtle savory notes. It's full-bodied with ripe fruit flavors and supple tannins, making ita good match for wine-braised beef short ribs, grilled Portobello mushrooms, or roastpork loin with a raspberry balsamic glaze. It is delicious now, and should mature nicelyover the next five years.
