Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch deep dish pie pan or a casserole dish.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and corn to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 6

While the filling simmers, prepare the cornbread topping. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, buttermilk, and egg until smooth. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Transfer the beef mixture into the prepared pie pan, spreading it out evenly. Pour the cornbread batter over the top, spreading it gently to cover the filling.

Step 8

Place the pie pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Let the pie cool slightly for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
