Number Of Ingredients 13

1 package (8.5 oz) corn muffin mix
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1 package (1 oz.) taco seasoning mix
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes in puree
1 can (4.5 oz) chopped green chilies, drained
1 can (14.5) ounces black beans, drained
1 cup frozen corn
2 cups Cache Valley Four Cheese Mexican shredded cheddar cheese blend
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the corn muffin mix, milk, and egg just until blended-the batter will be lumpy.
  • Coat the inside of a large 12-inch cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Spoon batter into cast iron skillet. Set aside.
  • Add ground beef to a second skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to break up the meat, until the beef is no longer pink. Remove beef to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Add remaining tablespoon of oil and onion to the skillet, sauté until onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Add ground beef and seasoning packet and sauté 1 minute.
  • Stir in tomatoes, chilies, beans, and corn. Spoon mixture gently on top of the cornbread batter in the cast iron skillet.
  • Sprinkle cheese on top of tamale pie. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and broil until cheese begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle parsley on top before serving.
