Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a large pan over medium heat, add 1 pound of 93% lean ground beef and 1 medium red bell pepper, cooking until the meat is browned and the veggies are softened.

Add 1 can of drained corn, 1 can of tomato soup, 1 teaspoon of granulated garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder to the pan and stir well.

Pour the meat mixture into a 13x9 inch casserole dish and smooth it out.

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

In a medium bowl, mix together 1/2 cup self-rising flour, 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

In another bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons no sugar added applesauce, and 1 tablespoon no-calorie sweetener.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients for the cornbread topping and stir until well mixed.

After 30 minutes, uncover the casserole and increase the oven temperature to 400°F.

Spoon the cornbread batter over the meat mixture and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cornbread is golden brown.
