Mexican Pie

Filling:
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1/4 cup red or yellow onion, chopped
2 tsp. chili powder
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, cubed
4 oz. canned diced green chilies, drained
1/2 cup sliced pitted black olives, drained
2 eggs, slightly beaten

Crust:
3/4 cup flour (can substitute for whole wheat flour)
1/3 cup milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 Tbs. cornmeal

Topping:
1 cup tomato, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Sour cream (optional)
Cilantro (optional)

Brown meat and onion; drain. Stir in chili powder. Add cream cheese, chilies, olives, and eggs; mix well. Keep over low heat, stirring occasionally, until cream cheese is melted.

In a bowl, combine flour, milk, and eggs. Beat until smooth. Pour into a greased 9-inch pie plate. Sprinkle with cornmeal.

Spoon meat mixture over batter, within a 1/2 inch of the outer edge of the pan. Bake at 400 degrees F, for 30 minutes, uncovered.

Top with tomatoes and cheese and continue to bake for an additional 5 min., or until cheese is melted. Top with sour cream and cilantro, if desired.
