Tamale Pie Recipe
Description
Tamale Pie begins by cooking lean ground beef in an oven-proof skillet until browned, then combining it with red enchilada sauce, green chilies, chili powder, and cumin to create a spiced base. One cup of shredded cheddar cheese is sprinkled over the beef mixture.
The topping is prepared from a box of corn muffin mix as directed, with additional green chilies and the remaining cheese stirred in. This batter is spread evenly over the beef layer before baking the dish until the top is golden and the casserole is cooked through.
The resulting dish combines the savory meat and chili filling with a moist, slightly sweet corn bread topping, providing a comforting and filling meal that highlights southwestern and Mexican flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 1 (10-ounce) can Red Enchilada Sauce
- 2 (4-ounce) cans green chilies
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 (8.5-ounce) box corn muffin mix plus ingredients called for on the box
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a 10-inch oven-proof skillet, cook the ground beef, crumbling it into pieces as it cooks. When the ground beef is browned and cooked through, drain the grease. Add the enchilada sauce, one can of green chilies, the chili powder, and the cumin to the skillet, and stir to combine. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheese on top.
- Prepare the corn muffin mix according to the directions on the box, then stir in the remaining can of green chilies and the remaining ½ cup of cheese. Spread the batter in an even layer over the beef mixture in the skillet.
- Bake 35-40 minutes, until golden brown on top and cooked through. Let cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
