This was GREAT! I made a few changes (noted in recipe). This is a keeper and DH loved it too!
Tamale Pie
This tamale pie recipe is made with ground beef, onion, peppers, tomatoes, corn, olives, and cheese, and has a cornmeal and cheese crust.
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 pound lean ground beef (ground sirloin)
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 large green bell pepper, chopped (I used 5 jalapenos)
• 1 large can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1 large can (28 ounces) tomatoes, cut up (Mexican stewed)
• 1 can (16 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained (Fiesta corn)
• 1 small can (4 ounces) sliced ripe olives
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (3 cloves)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• dash black pepper
*I added 1 t. cumin
• 1 cup grated Cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
• Crust:
• 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups cold water (I used beef broth)
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
• 1/2 cup grated Cheddar or Mexican blend cheese, for topping (optional)
PREPARATION:
Brown ground beef with onions and green pepper; drain well. Add tomato sauce, tomatoes, corn, olives, garlic, sugar, salt, chili powder and black pepper. Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until thickened. Add cheese; stir until cheese is melted. Set filling aside.
In a saucepan, combine cornmeal, salt, water and chili powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick. Stir in butter. Spread half of the mixture into a baking dish, about 12- x 8-inches. Spoon filling over bottom crust; spoon remaining cornmeal mixture over filling. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes. If desired, sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over the crust about 5 minutes before casserole is done.
Serves 6.
