Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup frozen corn
1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 ½ cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup cornmeal
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon sour cream, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, and bell pepper in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
  • Stir tomatoes, tomato sauce, corn, olives, chili powder, garlic, cumin, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper into the skillet. Bring to a low boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup Cheddar cheese and continue to simmer until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  • Heat milk, butter, sugar, and salt for topping in a large saucepan over medium heat until butter has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in cornmeal a little at a time, stirring vigorously with each addition, until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup Cheddar cheese. Drizzle in beaten eggs slowly, stirring vigorously until combined. Pour mixture over filling in the prepared dish, smoothing evenly over the surface.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow pie to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

HOT TAMALE PIE



Hot Tamale Pie image

While this tamale pie has very little to do with its south-of-the-border namesake, it's a really delicious recipe all the same.

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
2 pounds ground beef
2 cups diced poblano peppers
1 teaspoon salt
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
2 (8.5 ounce) boxes dry corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy®)
2 eggs
⅔ cup milk, divided
4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
8 ounces frozen corn, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Cook and stir ground beef in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until meat starts to brown and release juices, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium and stir in poblano peppers, salt, salsa, oregano, and chipotle powder; cook and stir until seasoned beef is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix one package of corn muffin mix in a large bowl with 1 egg and 1/3 cup of milk. Whisk to combine. In a separate large bowl, mix the second package of corn muffin mix with 1 egg, 1/3 cup of milk and half the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
  • Spread the prepared corn muffin mixture without cheese into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle corn over the muffin mix, followed by remaining half of the cheeses, then the beef mixture.
  • Spoon the corn muffin mix with cheese on top of the beef and carefully spread over the top with a fork, leaving about half an inch from the edges of the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, until golden brown.

TAMALE PIE MEATLOAF



Tamale Pie Meatloaf image

I came up with this recipe several years ago when I was craving my mom's tamale pie and meatloaf and couldn't decide which one I was going to make. It occurred to me...Why can't I have both? I wonder if I can make a meatloaf that tastes like mom's tamale pie??? And so I did! This is really tasty! I hope you give it a try...

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 lb hamburger
2 large eggs
1 c seasoned bread crumbs
2 c corn meal
1/4 c milk
1 small can tomato sauce
1 c salsa
1 small to medium onion, diced
1 can(s) corn, drained
1 can(s) olives, sliced or diced
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp garlic powder, (or 2 tbsp. minced garlic)
1 Tbsp season all
1 Tbsp celery salt
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients together. Form into a 3-4 inch high loaf and place on a rack in a roasting pan that allows fat to drain off as it cooks. (I have a baking rack dedicated solely for cooking meat that I use.) Bake at 350 degrees until meat is cooked through. You can cook it at 400 degrees to cook it faster, if you cover it with foil and remove the foil at the end to allow browning.
  • 2. Notes: I did not write down the amounts of seasoning, so I have guesstimated them here. Adjust to your own taste, just be sure to add a lot of chili powder because it is one of the main ingredients that give this dish its unique taste of tamale pie. I did not note when I wrote my recipe down how long I cooked it. I think I usually start checking it after 45 min. if I cook it covered, and an hour if I cook it uncovered. Next time I make this I'll try to remember to keep track of the exact amounts of the seasonings that I use and how long I cook it and come back and note it.
