1 pkg. (8 1/2 oz.) corn muffin mix
1 egg
1/3 c. milk
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 lb. bulk pork sausage
1/4 c. chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can (16 oz.) stewed tomatoes, drained

Dash of paprika

Microwave:

1. Mix corn muffin mix, egg and milk until just moistened. Set aside.

2. Mix ground beef, sausage, onion and garlic in square baking dish, 8x8 inches. Microwave at High (100%) until meat loses its pink color, 5 to 9 minutes, stirring once to break up beef. Drain. Stir in tomatoes, corn, tomato paste, chili powder and salt. Microwave at High (100%) until mixture thickens, 4 to 8 minutes. Stir in olives.

3. Spread corn muffin mixture over beef mixture. Microwave at Medium-High (70%) 5 minutes. Increase power to High (100%). Microwave until center is set, 4 to 8 minutes sprinkling with cheese and paprika during last 2 minutes of cooking. Rotate baking dish quarter turn every 2 minutes.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
