Method

Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Set out a large oven-safe skillet.
Step 2. Heat Olive Oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add Onion and Bell Pepper and cook until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes.
Step 3. Add Ground Beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned and no pink remains, about 5 minutes. Stir in Garlic, Paprika, Cumin, Oregano, and most of the Salt until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4. Stir in Canned Tomatoes and Black Beans. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the filling is thick but still saucy, about 5 minutes.
Step 5. Meanwhile, whisk Cornmeal, All-Purpose Flour, Baking Powder, and the rest of the Salt in a bowl. Whisk Eggs, Milk, and Butter separately, then stir into the dry ingredients just until combined.

Cook

Step 6. Spoon the batter evenly over the hot filling. Bake until the topping is golden and a toothpick inserted into the cornbread comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Let the pie rest until the filling settles, about 5 minutes, then scoop into bowls.
