Chili Bean Casserole With Cornmeal Crust Food

CHILI BEAN CASSEROLE WITH CORNMEAL CRUST

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Add the garlic and bell pepper and continue to sauté until the onion is golden brown.
• Add the corn kernels, pinto beans, tomatoes, and seasonings. Stir well and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Remove from the heat.
• Bring 4 1/2 cups of water to a steady boil in a heavy saucepan or double boiler. Lower the heat and slowly pour the cornmeal into the water in a thin, steady stream, whisking continuously to avoid lumping. Add the salt and cook over very low heat, covered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If it gets too thick, whisk in an additional 1/2 cup water.
• Preheat the oven to 375º F.
• Oil a shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish and line the bottom with a little less than half of the cooked cornmeal. Pour the skillet mixture in and gently pat in evenly. Sprinkle with the optional grated cheese. Top with the remaining cornmeal, patting it in smoothly.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until the cornmeal is golden brown and and beginning to get crusty. Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes, then cut into sections to serve - they can be neat sections or free-form, just scooped out.

CHILI CASSEROLE WITH A CORNMEAL CRUST

Steps:

• 1. PREPARE CHILI:
• 2. Heat ~ 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet set to medium heat.
• 3. Add onions once oil is hot and sauté until onions are fragrant and translucent. Add pepper and garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
• 4. Add beef and cook until meat is browned.
• 5. Once meat is browned, immediately add tomatoes and their juices. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne and salt. Simmer until mixture is slightly thickened.
• 6. Remove from heat and place in a 1 ½ qt. casserole dish. Allow to cool a bit as you make the crust.
• 7. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• 8. FOR THE CORNMEAL CRUST:
• 9. Sift together flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
• 10. Gradually incorporate cold butter pieces with a pastry cutter, fork or your hands. Continue to incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
• 11. Add ¼ cup very cold water and mix very lightly with your hands. If the dough sticks together enough to form a ball, you have enough water. If there is still dough at the bottom of your bowl, add more water, 1 Tbsp at a time until you can form a ball with the dough.
• 12. On a well-floured surface, roll the ball out to create a circle that is slightly larger than your casserole dish.
• 13. Place flattened dough on top of casserole dish, so sides hang over slightly. Turn the overhanging dough under and pinch around the sides of your dish.
• 14. Cut three slits in the middle of the pie to allow steam to escape.
• 15. Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Bake until browned to top, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the casserole to set. Top with the Cheddar and sour cream before serving.
