• 2 containers 715 grams bean / lentil chilli
• 160 grams ground beef
• 1 onion diced (200 grams)
• 2x 170 gram packages gladiola cornbread mix
• 2 eggs ~120 grams
• 180 ml milk
• 70 grams thawed frozen corn
• 70 grams mature cheddar
• 70 grams red leicseter cheese

Steps:

1. Brown ground beef in a pan, then remove
2. Add onion, and sweat till well cooked
3. Add lentil chilli, and cook down till a kinda thick texture, season to taste. It needs to taste good. The food wishes recipe had a pretty 'dry' mixture.
4. In a parchment lined loaf pan layer:
   1. 235 grams of corn bread mixture
   2. thawed frozen corn
   3. 70 grams of cheese
   4. beef / chilli mixture
   5. mix 70 grams of cheese with remaining corn bread mixture and cover the top.
5. Bake at 170C Fan for 45 minutes until an internal temp of 160 F

Note when I made this on 17 Oct 2025 there was too much corn bread. It could probably have been halved and still come out okay. I also had about 200 grams of beef / chilli mixture that I saved for a lunch.
