Mamas Yeehaw Tamale Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch baking or casserole dish.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in corn, tomatoes, oil, chili powder, and cumin. Bring to a boil; remove from heat.
• Combine milk, cornmeal, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in meat mixture. Mix in olives. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, 50 to 60 minutes; mixture should not be mushy.

Steps:

• Brown the ground beef with the onions and green pepper; drain well. Add the tomato sauce, tomatoes, corn, olives, garlic, salt, cumin, chili powder, cilantro, and black pepper. Heat to boiling, reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes or until thickened. Add cheese and stir until cheese is melted. Set filling aside.
• In a saucepan, combine the cornmeal, salt, cumin, water, and chili powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick. Stir in butter. Spread half of the mixture into a baking dish (about 12x8-inches). Spoon filling over the bottom crust; spoon remaining cornmeal mixture on top of the filling.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. If desired, sprinkle cheddar cheese over the crust about 5 minutes before casserole is done.
