  2. Place an oven-safe skillet over medium heat*. Add the ground beef and start to brown, breaking it up as it cooks. When it is almost cooked through, add the onions, taco seasoning and garlic powder and continue to cook until the beef is completely browned and cooked.

Make a well in the center and add the egg and lightly beat it with a fork to break it up. Add the buttermilk, sour cream, melted butter and honey and stir just until combined.

  6. Let the tamale pie sit for about 10 minutes before cutting into wedges to serve. Top with desired toppings.

Notes

  • *I originally used a 12-inch skillet, but found that I liked a 10-inch skillet much better. While it still works in a 12-inch skillet, the layers were a bit too thin for me.
