2 Large Garlic Cloves Minced
2 Medium Onions Coarsely Chopped
1 Pound Chopped Chuck
1 Pound Italian Sausage (if in casings, remove casing)
2-8 Oz. Cans Tomato Sauce
1-16 Oz. Can Whole Kernal Corn, Drained
12 Green Olives, Sliced
2 Tsp. Chili Powder
1 Tsp. Salt
Freshly Ground Pepper to Taste
1 1/2 Cups Corn Meal
6 Cups Boiling Water
6 Tbsp. Grated Jack or Cheddar Cheese
2 Tbsp. Butter

Brown ground chuck, Italian sausage, onion and garlic until meat has lost its red color and onions are lightly browned. Add tomato sauce, corn, olives and seasonings and simmer on low heat.

Cook corn meal in boiling, salted water 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Line bottom and sides of a 4-quart casserole with the corn meal mixture reserving enough to cover the top later.

Pour meat mixture into center of the casserole and top with corn meal mush. Sprinkle cheese over. Dot with butter. Bake in 350° oven for 30 minutes, or until brown on top. Serves 5.
