SPRING HILL RANCH'S TAMALE PIE

Steps:
- 1. Adjust an oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350°. Lightly grease a 9"x13" casserole dish.
- 2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it starts to brown and release its juices, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the chiles, salsa, chipotle powder, cumin and oregano. Cook, stirring regularly until the seasoned beef is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
- 3. Mix one package of corn muffin mix in a large bowl with 1 egg and 1/2 cup of milk. Whisk to combine. In a separate large bowl, mix the second package of corn muffin mix with 1 egg, 1/2 cup of milk and half the cheeses.
- 4. Spread the prepared corn muffin mixture without cheese into the prepared baking dish - it will be a very thin layer. Sprinkle the corn over the muffin mix, followed by the black beans and then the remaining half of the cheeses. Then layer on the beef mixture. If using, spread the sliced green olives over the top of the meat. (In some regions, finding a green olive in your tamale is a sign of good luck.) Spoon the corn muffin mix with cheese on top of the beef and carefully spread it over the top with a fork, leaving about an inch from the edges of the pan. Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes, until golden brown on top.
