I love that this recipe calls for the corn muffin mix so that you don't have to wrestle around trying to find your cornbread recipe. Where the recipe calls for enchilada sauce, feel free to use your own or your favorite.

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!

Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

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

Steps:

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. (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.
  • 4. 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 slow cooker liner. This will make cleanup a breeze, especially if you're using a cornbread crust.
  • Don't overfill the slow cooker. You want to leave enough room for the cornbread crust to rise and cook properly.
  • Be patient. Tamale pie takes a while to cook, but it's worth the wait.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. Sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and shredded cheese are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Crock-pot tamale pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of cornbread crust, chili, and cheese is always a winner, and the slow cooker makes it easy to prepare. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give crock-pot tamale pie a try.
