2 cups Canned whole kernel corn
Salt

Stir in garlic, onion and celery and cook until vegetables are tender but not browned. Stir in tomatoes, corn, salt and chili powder and simmer about 15 minutes. Slowly stir in cornmeal and cook until thickened. Stir in olives. Turn into greased 2-quart casserole and top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees 45 minutes. Formatted by Lynn Thomas.
