Ingredients

4 cups masa
4 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup shortening
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) salted butter
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno, sliced
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, chopped
One 15-ounce can chopped tomatoes
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
One 15-ounce can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Butter, for greasing the skillet

Steps:

For the crust: Mix the masa with the broth in a large bowl and stir to combine. In a mixer, beat the shortening, butter, baking powder and salt. Add the masa mixture to the mixer bowl in 3 additions and beat until combined and soft. Cover and refrigerate while you make the filling.
For the filling: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Cook the beef, breaking up any lumps, until it is no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the grease from the skillet.
Add the onion, bell pepper, jalapeno and poblano to the skillet and season with the chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook until just beginning to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, broth and tomato paste and bring to a boil. Add the beans and return the meat to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with butter. Line the skillet with a little over half of the masa mixture and press. Add the filling, then spoon the rest of the masa mixture over the top. Bake until the top is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
