Bowl
1 tablespoon cornmeal
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1 cup all-purpose or unbleached flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chili powder, if desired
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 eggs
Chili
1 pound ground beef
1 cup chopped onions
1 to 2 tablespoons chili powder
1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes, undrained, chopped
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 ounces (1/2 cup) shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease 8 or 9-inch glass pan;
sprinkle with cornmeal.
In medium saucepan, heat water and margarine to boiling. Lightly spoon flour
into measuring cup;
level off. Add flour, Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon chili powder and baking
powder. Stir
vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball; remove from heat. Beat in
eggs, one at a
time; continue beating until smooth. Spread evenly in prepared pan. Bake at 425
degrees F for 25
to 30 minutes or until center is firm and edge is golden brown. (A well will
form in the center
and the edge will puff up.) Make shallow slit on top surface of bottom crust to
allow steam to
escape. Cool 5 minutes. If desired, remove from pan and place on serving plate.
Chili: In large skillet, brown ground beef and onions; drain. Add 1 to 2
tablespoons chili
powder, tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Serve
in baked bowl. Top with Cheddar cheese and sour cream.
Makes
6 servings.
