This warm and comforting “pie” has a thick and zippy filling and a moist, tender cornbread topping. It's an overall hearty dish for the season. Serve this with a side salad and some fruit for a great meatless meal. —Deb Perry, Bluffton, Indiana

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Mexican diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons butter, melted

Directions

  1. In a small nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Transfer to a large bowl. Drain tomatoes, reserving 2 tablespoons juice; add tomatoes and juice to onion mixture.
  2. Stir in the beans, cheese, chiles, jalapeno, cumin and chili powder. Transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray.
  3. For topping, in a small bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together the egg, yogurt and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Spoon over filling; gently spread to cover top.
  4. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until filling is bubbly and a toothpick inserted into topping comes out clean.
