HOT TAMALE PIE



Hot Tamale Pie image

While this tamale pie has very little to do with its south-of-the-border namesake, it's a really delicious recipe all the same.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
2 pounds ground beef
2 cups diced poblano peppers
1 teaspoon salt
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
2 (8.5 ounce) boxes dry corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy®)
2 eggs
⅔ cup milk, divided
4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
8 ounces frozen corn, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Cook and stir ground beef in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until meat starts to brown and release juices, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium and stir in poblano peppers, salt, salsa, oregano, and chipotle powder; cook and stir until seasoned beef is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix one package of corn muffin mix in a large bowl with 1 egg and 1/3 cup of milk. Whisk to combine. In a separate large bowl, mix the second package of corn muffin mix with 1 egg, 1/3 cup of milk and half the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
  • Spread the prepared corn muffin mixture without cheese into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle corn over the muffin mix, followed by remaining half of the cheeses, then the beef mixture.
  • Spoon the corn muffin mix with cheese on top of the beef and carefully spread over the top with a fork, leaving about half an inch from the edges of the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, until golden brown.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 15-ounce can chili beans (do not drain)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the ground beef, chili powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Continue to cook, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the beans.
  • Whisk the eggs, sour cream and 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl. Add the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; stir until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup cheddar.
  • Pour the cornmeal mixture over the beef in the skillet; spread evenly. Transfer to the oven and bake until the topping is golden brown and firm, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar. Switch the oven to broil; broil until the cheese is browned and bubbling, 1 to 3 minutes. Serve with sour cream.

3/4 lb ground beef
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 onion, roughly chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
2 garlic cloves, grated
1 cup corn kernel (from one ear corn, or frozen)

  • In a large bowl, whisk to combine cornbread mix, egg, and milk. Pour on top of vegetable-bean mixture.

30-MINUTE SKILLET TAMALE PIE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



30-Minute Skillet Tamale Pie Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by RealFoodGirl

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 TB coconut oil
1 TB clarified butter or ghee
1 yellow onion, diced small
1-1/2 TB chili powder
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound 85/15 grass-fed organic ground beef
1/2 cup water
1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (don't drain)
1-1/2 cup frozen or fresh organic corn
1 (15-ounce) can of organic, low sodium black beans
1 (8.5 ounce) package of organic cornbread mix **See Notes**
1-1/2 cup medium sharp raw cheddar cheese
1 TB freshly chopped cilantro (if you love cilantro, add 2 TB. I use 1 TB cilantro and 1 TB chopped parsley
1 can diced green chile's (optional)

Steps:

  • While the filling is cooking, finely chop the cilantro and mix the cornbread batter. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Heat the oil/butter in a 10-inch skillet (stainless or cast iron) over medium heat. Once melted add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, adding a TB of water if they start to brown too quickly. Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano and garlic to the onions. Stir and cook until fragrant, about 60 seconds. Add the ground beef and with a wooden spoon, break it into pieces. Add 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp, black pepper. Brown/cook the beef for 2-3 minutes, then add the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine. If you still have quite a bit of chili powder and cumin stuck to the bottom of your pan, pour in 1/4-1/2 cup of water to deglaze the pan. Cook the mixture over low heat to allow the added liquid to reduce. Next, step away to prep the cilantro and cornbread mixture. Return to the beef mixture and taste to check seasoning levels. You'll need to add around another 1/4 to 1/3 tsp of additional salt and a little more pepper. This dish should be well seasoned. Once the mixture is fully cooked, remove from heat and add the cheese and cilantro. Stir to combine. Taste and add more salt and pepper. ANY TIME you add fat (which cheese is a fat) you dull the level of seasoning you had prior to that fatty ingredient. This is why it's important to taste EACH step while cooking and season in layers. Spoon the cornbread batter over the mixture and gently spread into an even layer getting it all the way to the edges of the pan. Bake until the cornbread is cooked through in the center, about 10-15 minutes. Serve with sour cream and a big salad.
