CHILIMEX CASSEROLE

1 lb. lean ground beef
2 (15oz.) cans chili con carne with beans
1 (12oz.) can Mexican-style corn
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
TOPPING:
1 cup corn bread mix
1 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup water

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a large skillet*, cook ground beef until meat looses its pink color.

Stir in the chili con carne, corn, salt and pepper. Pour into an 11x7-inch casserole and set aside.

TOPPING:
In a small mixing bowl, combine corn bread mix, cottage cheese and water. Drop batter on top of meat mixture.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, until browned and bubbly.

*I cook the beef mixture in a cast-iron skillet and use it to bake in oven.
