SOUTH-OF-THE-BORDER PIE 
2 slices bacon
1 lb. ground beef
1 med. chopped onion (1/2 c.)
1 (1 lb.) can tomatoes
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. corn muffin mix

Saute bacon until crisp, drain, then crumble. Pour off drippings, measure 2 tablespoonfuls and return to pan.

Mix ground beef lightly with onion. Shape into a large patty in same pan, brown 5 minutes on each side. Then break up into chunks. Stir in crumbled bacon, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings; heat to boil.

Prepare corn muffin mix following label directions for muffins.

Spread half of batter evenly over bottom of a greased shallow 6-cup baking dish; spoon hot meat mixture over; drop remaining batter by tablespoonfuls on top. Bake in moderate 375 degree oven 35 minutes or until top is puffed and golden brown. Very good!
