EASY CHEESY TAMALE PIE RECIPE - BARBARA BAKES™

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together the corn muffin mix, milk, and egg just until blended-the batter will be lumpy.
• Coat the inside of a large 12-inch cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Spoon batter into cast iron skillet. Set aside.
• Add ground beef to a second skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to break up the meat, until the beef is no longer pink. Remove beef to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Add remaining tablespoon of oil and onion to the skillet, sauté until onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Add ground beef and seasoning packet and sauté 1 minute.
• Stir in tomatoes, chilies, beans, and corn. Spoon mixture gently on top of the cornbread batter in the cast iron skillet.
• Sprinkle cheese on top of tamale pie. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and broil until cheese begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle parsley on top before serving.
