CROCK POT TAMALE PIE



Crock Pot Tamale Pie image

I always enjoy food with a Mexican flavor and this one sure hit the spot! As a big ol' bonus, it's also a cinch to prepare. Try spraying the inside of the crock-pot with cooking spray when you begin so that you're sure to get every last bit out of the pot when it's cooked!

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound(s) lean ground beef or turkey
1 - onion, chopped
2 clove(s) garlic, minced
1 package(s) taco seasoning
15 ounce(s) canned kidney beans, drained
1 - 6 oz. pkg corn muffin mix
1/3 cup(s) milk
2 teaspoon(s) vegetable oil
1 - egg
1 cup(s) shredded colby (or co-jack, monterey jack) cheese
1 - 4 oz. can chopped green chiles, UNDRAINED
1/2 cup(s) sour cream
1/2 cup(s) salsa

Steps:

  • In nonstick skillet, cook ground beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is just cooked (don't brown too much). Break up meat into smaller bits.
  • Add taco or chili seasoning mix and water (just enough to moisten), and stir until seasoning is mixed throughout. Stir in drained kidney beans, and pour mixture into 4-5 quart crockpot.
  • (you can probably do some of this while meat is cooking in the skillet) In large bowl, mix together corn muffin mix, milk, butter and egg just until combined. Fold the cheese and chiles (including the liquid from them) into the corn muffin battter, then spoon mixture over the beef in crockpot.
  • Cover crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until a toothpick inserted in the corn bread mixture comes out clean. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, salsa, and cilantro; serve with pie.

Tips:

  • Use a lean ground beef to reduce grease. You can also use ground turkey or chicken.
  • Drain the excess grease from the beef before adding it to the crock pot.
  • Use a variety of beans in your tamale pie. Black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans are all good choices.
  • Add some chopped green chiles to the filling for a little spice.
  • Use a cornbread mix to make the topping for your tamale pie. You can also use a homemade cornbread recipe.
  • Bake the tamale pie until the cornbread topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the tamale pie with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.

Conclusion:

Crock pot beef tamale pie is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. Serve it with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
