Beef & Pork

2 Lb beef (I cut the meat in half or double everything but the meat when I make any casserole)
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green pepper, chopped
15 Oz can corn, undrained (I will usually use frozen)
1 1/2 Cup chopped tomatoes
5 Tbl tomato paste
1 envelope chili seasoning (I use chili powder)
1 1/2 Tsp sugar (I omit)
1 Tsp garlic powder
1 Tsp basil
1 Tsp oregano
6 Cup cooked grits with butter and salt
1 1/2 Tsp chili powder
6 Oz shredded cheddar cheese

In a large skillet cook beef, onion and green pepper. Add corn, tomatoes, tomato paste, chili seasoning, sugar, garlic powder, basil and oregano; mix well. Cook and stir until heated through; keep warm. Spread 1/2 grits in a greased 3 qt. dish. Sprinkle with 1 tsp. chili powder. Top with beef mixture and cheese. Pipe (I spoon it on) remaining grits around edge of dish; sprinkle with remaining chili powder. Bake uncovered at 325* for 20-25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. 12 servings.
