Steps

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole dish
2

In a sauce pan, bring water to a boil and add the salt. Slowly add the cornmeal and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly
3

Pour 2/3 of the hot cornmeal much into casserole dish. Using the spoon, bring it up the sides as far as it will reach. If cornmeal is to thick to spread water it down a little.
4

In a large frying pan, cook, but don't brown the ground beef, breaking it up into crumbs as it cooks. Add onions and green bell peppers and cook 5 minutes longer.
5

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.
6

Spoon remaining cornmeal mixture over top. It should be thin enough to spread. (Not watery)
7

Top with grated cheese and bake at 350°F, for 35-40 minutes, or until cheese is melted and browned
