Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
½ pound ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup milk
½ cup yellow cornmeal
2 eggs
1 (6 ounce) can black olives, drained

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch baking or casserole dish.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in corn, tomatoes, oil, chili powder, and cumin. Bring to a boil; remove from heat.
Combine milk, cornmeal, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in meat mixture. Mix in olives. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, 50 to 60 minutes; mixture should not be mushy.
