Author Notes: This traditional Chilean dish, called pastel de chocio, is often served with sugar on the side so sugar can be added to your own liking while eating.
Ingredients: 4 cans (15 ounces each) whole kernel corn, drained
1 1/2 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
3 large onions, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 can (2.25 ounces) sliced black olives, drained
1/2 cup raisins
2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400° F.

In a blender, grind corn for 3 minutes. Pour liquefied corn into a saucepan with basil, salt and butter. Heat until it starts to bubble. Slowly stir in cornstarch to thicken.

In a frying pan, brown beef and onions together. Drain any excess grease. Stir cumin into beef mixture. Spoon beef mixture into bottom of a greased 9 X 13 inch pan. Sprinkle with sugar over corn layer. Bake 40 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown.
