Cornmeal Shepherds Pie

A twist on the basic Shepherds Pie. A bit more involved but great.
NEED:
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell peppers
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 cups left over beef roast, chopped
5 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup tomato sauce (8 ounce can)
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons salt
dash lemon pepper or other seasoned pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 egg
1/2 cup milk

In large fry pan saute peppers, onion and beef in 2 tablespoons of oil, until onion is tender; about 3 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper and chili powder. Pour mixture into a sprayed or greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. In bowl, mix together all remaining ingredients and stir until smooth. Pour batter over meat mixture, spread evenly. Bake uncovered.
Oven at 400 degrees. Bake for 1 hour or until cornmeal is browned.

Enjoy!
