1 1/2 c. cornmeal
1 c. flour
1 egg
1/4 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3 tbsp. sugar
1 c. milk
3 tbsp. oil or bacon drippings
1 can creamed corn
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/4 c. chopped jalapeno peppers
1/2 lb. hamburger, browned
1/2 to 3/4 lb. Longhorn Colby cheese, shredded
3 tbsp. Crisco shortening or bacon drippings

Mix cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Add milk, egg, oil and creamed corn. Mix well. If too stiff, add more milk by tablespoons.

In cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons of shortening or bacon drippings. Pour in cornbread mixture. Then layer hamburger, onion and peppers. Top this with the cheese. Cover layers with remaining cornmeal mixture and cook for about 1 hour at 350 degrees.
