Directions
1.
In a large skillet cook ground beef, onion, and the 1/2 cup green pepper until meat is brown; drain off fat. Stir in undrained beans, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, and hot pepper sauce. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
2.
Meanwhile, for crust, lightly grease a 9- or 10-inch pie plate. Unwrap and separate cornbread twists, but do not uncoil. Arrange twists in pie plate, pressing onto the bottom and up the sides of plate, extending about 1/2-inch above pie plate. Spoon ground beef mixture into crust. Combine sour cream and flour; spread atop beef mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and corn chips. Place on a baking sheet.

How to Make Cornbread
Cornbread connoisseurs have a long line of people to thank for making this quick bread a mainstay in American cooking. In fact, this staple of Southern and Southwestern cuisine may be one of the most truly American foods there is. Native Americans used corn, or "maize," in cooking all sorts of dishes--including cornbread--for thousands of years before colonists first set food in what we now know as the United States. Since cornbread is leavened with baking powder instead of yeast, it was easy for early settlers to master how to make cornbread even with limited resources. So, it's no wonder the dish caught on. Its unique flavor and texture have kept it a favorite over the years.
