I've been making this dish in winter instead of chili for the last 20 years. Although there's just the two of us, we rarely have much left over.
Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1 large onion, sliced
2-1/2 cups tomato juice
1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn
1 to 2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
pastry:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
3 tablespoons cold water
Directions:
1. In a skillet, cook beef, pork and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato juice, corn, chili powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Pour into a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish.
2. In a bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal and salt. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Roll out into a 12-in. x 8-in. rectangle; place over the meat mixture. Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 4-6 servings.
