be used.) Spread cornmeal evenly with a wet spoon.

2. Brown the chuck, chorizo and onion in a very large skillet. Stir in
celery, green pepper, corn, cheddar, olives, broth, tomatoes, chili and
cumin. Simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes. Taste; add additional
seasoning, if you wish. Spoon beef mixture into mush-lined baking dish(es).
Top with remaining mush.

Monterey Jack cheese and olives, if using. Bake 5 minutes longer or until
cheese is melted. NOTES
