6 To 8 serv.

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 tablespoons Butter or margarine
¾ cup Cream cheese
2 cups Flour
1 cup Yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons Oil
1 large Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
½ pounds Ground beef
1½ tablespoon Mild chili powder
1 12 1/2 oz. can chopped tomatoes
1 16 oz. can red kidney beans, drained

Directions

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@...
