Tamale Pie

I have not made this in years, but it was a staple when our kids were quite young.  A friend (who had given birth to her 3rd and 4th boys - twins - about 6 months before I had my twin girls) brought this to our family and it was quick, easy, and delicious!

Tamale Pie

In skillet, add:  1 pound ground beef, ½ diced onion.  Cook until beef is cooked thoroughly.  Drain off grease.  Add 1 8oz can tomato sauce, 1 can corn (drained), 1 can kidney or pinto beans (drained), salt and pepper.  Stir until heated through.  Pour into greased casserole dish.

Mix 1 box “Jiffy” corn bread mix according to directions.  Pour over meat mixture and spread to cover thoroughly.

Bake at 350* until cornbread is done (approximately 20 minutes).

Lots of variation possibilities here, of course, but you get the general idea.

Cheers ~
