To Make the Crust: Mix the butter or margarine and cream cheese until soft.
Mix in the flour and cornmeal to make a soft dough. Knead lightly on a floured surface. Divide the dough into 24 pieces. Press each piece into a lightly greased muffin cup, forming a well. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes.
Heat the oil and cook the onion and garlic until soft. Add the meat and chili powder and cook 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and beans. Simmer for 1 hour or until very thick. Spoon into the hot cornmeal pie crusts and serve immediately. Serves 6 to 8 Typed in MMFormat by cjhartlin@...
