1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup oil

1 (14.75 oz) can cream-style corn
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 jalapeno peppers, chopped
1 lb ground meat

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a skillet add ground meat, onions and peppers. Cook until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off any grease with a paper towel. Set aside.
Using a cast iron skillet add the crisco, spreading up the sides and bottom.
In a bowl add the cornmeal, baking soda, salt, oil, milk, eggs and corn. Mix well.

Bake for 45 minutes or until done.
