Cook 3-4 pieces of bacon in a pan for flavor and grease.

Chop about 1/2 cup of onions finely and add them to the pan with the bacon.

Add 1 pound of ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces.

Once the beef is cooked, remove the pan from heat and set aside.

Add 1 cup of diced tomatoes to the beef mixture and let it simmer.

Stir in 1 cup of chili beans and season with cumin and chili powder to taste.

Add Worcestershire sauce and mix everything together, then flatten the mixture in the pan.

Prepare the cornmeal topping by mixing 1 and 3/4 cups of yellow cornmeal with 1 and 1/2 cups of buttermilk and 1 egg in a bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the cornmeal mixture and whisk until combined.

Spread the cornmeal mixture evenly over the beef and bean mixture in the pan.

Preheat the oven to 425°F and place the pan over 18 charcoal briquettes to cook.
