Tamale Pie

Want a one-dish meal that is INCREDIBLY yummy? This is it!
Forget those "Tamale Pie" recipes you find online...this one is SO easy and SO good!

Ingredients:
2 pkg cornbread mix (I use Jiffy because its sweetness complements the spicy!)
1 pkg ground meat
1 chopped onion
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 can of corn, drained
1 medium-sized jar of salsa (I used medium.)
1 pkg grated cheddar cheese

sour cream (for serving)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375.
Mix the 2 pkgs of cornbread mix according to package directions; it is best if it is a little "wetter" than you would normally have it.

Brown ground meat with chopped onion. Season with envelope of taco seasoning, according to directions.

Remove the meat/onion from the stove and add the can of corn (drained) and the jar of salsa. Mix well.

Pour into a greased casserole dish.
Cover with a layer of grated cheese.
Top with the cornbread mix.
Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes....until browned and your cornbread is set.

Serve as a "pie slice" with a large dollop of sour cream on top!

  1. Looks yummy, and I'm guessing, with a bit of trial and error, that one could probably recreate the cornbread part without the Jiffy boxes.
