I have seen many recipes for tamale pie that uses a sweet cornbread on top. It is too sweet and does not taste like tamales. I have reversed the recipe and put the cornbread on the bottom and used a cornbread without sugar. It is really close to tasting just like authentic tamales.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Add onion, jalapeno pepper, green chile peppers, garlic, cumin, and chili powder; saute until onion and jalapeno are soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add enchilada sauce and simmer for 30 minutes.
- While the sauce is simmering, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
- Mix buttermilk, cornmeal, egg, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Pour into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake in the oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and poke holes in the cornbread with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Pour simmering meat mixture on top of the cornbread. Top with shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes.
