TAMALE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9"x9" baking dish or 10-inch oven safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion and cook until beef is browned and no longer pink, stirring often. Drain any grease from the pan.
• To the beef, stir in tomatoes, corn, olives, chiles, chili powder, garlic powder and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened; about 10 minutes. Pour the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• In a medium sized bowl, stir together the cornmeal, milk, sugar and eggs just until combined. Mixture will be thin. Spread evenly over the beef mixture in the pan, then top evenly with the cheese.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes. Top should be golden brown and the sauce should be bubbling up on the sides.
• Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and sliced green onions if desired.

SPRING HILL RANCH'S TAMALE PIE

Steps:

• 1. Adjust an oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350°. Lightly grease a 9"x13" casserole dish.
• 2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it starts to brown and release its juices, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the chiles, salsa, chipotle powder, cumin and oregano. Cook, stirring regularly until the seasoned beef is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
• 3. Mix one package of corn muffin mix in a large bowl with 1 egg and 1/2 cup of milk. Whisk to combine. In a separate large bowl, mix the second package of corn muffin mix with 1 egg, 1/2 cup of milk and half the cheeses.
• 4. Spread the prepared corn muffin mixture without cheese into the prepared baking dish - it will be a very thin layer. Sprinkle the corn over the muffin mix, followed by the black beans and then the remaining half of the cheeses. Then layer on the beef mixture. If using, spread the sliced green olives over the top of the meat. (In some regions, finding a green olive in your tamale is a sign of good luck.) Spoon the corn muffin mix with cheese on top of the beef and carefully spread it over the top with a fork, leaving about an inch from the edges of the pan. Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes, until golden brown on top.
