     1/4  c             Garlic -- minced
   2      c             Tomato concasse
     1/2  c             Bran
     1/2  ts            Oregano
     1/2  ts            Ground cumin
     1/2  ts            Salt
   1      c             Yellow corn meal
   1                    Egg -- beaten

Heat the bacon fat or lard in a skillet, over a medium flame. Add the
ground beef, onions, and garlic. Heat and stir for 6-8 minutes, until
onions are softened and all of the redness disappears from the beef.
Add the tomatoes, bran, chile powder, oregano, cumin, and salt. Stir
to mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for
20 minutes. Combine remaining ingredients. Mix well. Spread over beef
mixture as for dumplings or as a crust. Bake @ 400°F for 30 minutes,
until crust is lightly browned. Serve hot.
