Filling and Topping

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until softened. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned. Stir in the cumin, oregano, diced tomato, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Corn Topping

    In a saucepan, combine the corn kernels, milk, butter, and cornmeal. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the beaten egg.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Pie

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a greased baking dish, spread the beef mixture evenly at the bottom. Top with the corn mixture, smoothing it out with a spatula.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
