1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes or 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Dash salt
Dash pepper
2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
TOPPING:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar

1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup 2% milk

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425°. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add beans, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes.
Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. For topping, in a small bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine egg, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. If desired, stir in jalapeno pepper. Spoon over filling; gently spread to cover top.
