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.
