Meat 'N' Pepper Corn Bread

1 lb ground beef
a cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped onion
2 cans (8 oz. each) tomato sauce
1 1/2 tsp. chili poweder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 tsp. pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil

In a 10-in. cast-iron skillet, lightly brown ground beef, green pepper, and onion; drain.  Add tomato sauce, chili powder, salt and pepper; simmer 10-15 min.  Meanwhile, combine dry ingredients.  Combine egg, milk, and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.  Pour over beef mixture.  Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden.  Run knife around edge of skillet and invert on serving plate.  Cut into wedges to serve. 

For freezer meal:  Thaw completely.  Bake as instructed.  Above is the original recipe from "Country Ground Beef" - a recipe book for, you guessed it, ground beef.  I've never made it in a cast iron skillet.  We just serve it from the baking dish. :)
