Mix and set aside:

1 1/2 c. yellow cornmeal
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 c. milk
3/4 tsp. baking soda (bicarbonate)
3/4 tsp. salt
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can cream style corn
1/2 c. cooking oil
2 or 3 tbsp. chopped jalapeno peppers, optional

Prepare and set aside:

1 lg. onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 lb. grated mild cheddar or Colby cheese

Saute 1 1/2 pounds hamburger meat, drain grease. Add onion, green pepper and garlic; cook until onions are clear. Remove from heat.

In large, greased heavy skillet, pour half of cornbread batter, add the meat mixture and a layer or cheese (reserve a little of the cheese for the top, 5 minutes before cooking time is up). Add remaining cornbread batter over the meat layer. Bake 45 to 50 minutes at 350 degrees.
