Needs more seasoning: I used 1 1/2 Tbs. each ground cumin and chili powder. I also sautéed some minced garlic with the onion and bell pepper. Baking 20-25 min. in a 425 degree oven is too long and the heat is too high. Rather, bake 15-20 min. in a 380-400 degree (preheated) oven. The cornbread topping will set up just fine without the top becoming too dark.
