Tamale Pie image

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 box JIFFY corn muffin mix
1 egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup creamed corn
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
10 oz can red enchiladas sauce (divided)
cheddar cheese, shredded
Monterey jack cheese, shredded
small handful cilantro leaves, chopped
Fresh jalapeño, chopped (optional)
Sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease an 8X8* pyrex casserole pan. Combine egg, sour cream, creamed corn & jiffy mix and bake in casserole dish for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Meanwhile brown ground beef & onion. Add the garlic the last minute. Drain grease and add salt, cumin & chili powder.
  • Poke holes all in the cornbread. Pour 1/2 cup enchilada sauce all over the cornbread. (Save the remainder for serving) Then spoon the meat mixture over the cornbread and top with lots of cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until brown and bubble. Top with chopped cilantro & (optional) jalapeños and serve drizzled with the leftover enchilada sauce and sour cream :-)
  • ***I broke my 8×8 pan last week so I had to use a pie pan, it fit (barely) but I wasn't able to put as much cheese as I would have liked. Next time, I will use an 8×8 because Mama likes a lot of cheese

MOM'S TAMALE PIE



Mom's Tamale Pie image

From Albers Corn Meal carton 1960's, plus 4 new ingredients marked "optional". A true steamed corn mush with chili powder, no eggs. Important: Use California chili powder (instead of New Mexico) for a milder flavor. I actually use only one pound ground beef. Family Note: This is Mom-Mom's recipe exactly, except the "optional" ingredients.

TAMALE PIE - MOM'S



Tamale Pie - Mom's image

Wonderful comfort food! One of my family's favorites. Great casserole to "make and take". You can make it as spicy as you want. My mother made this with ground beef, I sometimes make it with leftover cooked, diced chicken for a lower fat alternative. Reminds me of my mom when I make it! You can serve it with Pico, sour cream or cilantro. TIP: I use a dutch oven - that way I don't have to transfer it to a casserole dish - thus saving myself a dish to wash!

Grandma fixed this for our family ever since I was little. She obtained it from a ladyfriend in the 1940's in San Francisco, and has been a family favorite ever since, eagerly anticipated at family gatherings and certainly every Christmas Eve at Grandma & Grandpa's! Since moving to Texas six years ago, I've amended the original...
