OLE! MEXICAN BEEF PIE



Ole! Mexican Beef Pie image

My recipe for a Mexican-inspired tender-chunk beef pie with a cornbread crust is a bit labor-intensive, but so worth it. This is kid-friendly as far as its heat -- for a spicier pie simply replace a portion of the bell peppers with jalapeno or serrano peppers, or with diced canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce.

sliced black olives (or jalapenos, or snipped green onion tops, or all)

Steps:

  • PREHEAT oven to 375°F; SPRAY a 2 quart deep baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside; CUT potato, onion, bell peppers and garlic to specifications; THAW 1/2 cup frozen corn; KNEAD and juice enough limes to yield a total of 2 tablespoons juice if using fresh (bottled lime juice is okay); SHRED 1 cup Colby-Jack cheese; DRAIN two 12-ounce cans chunk roast beef.
  • HEAT 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick 2 quart skillet over medium heat; ADD the potatoes and cook, scraping and stirring often, until softened; ADD the yellow onion and bell peppers; COOK until softened; STIR in the black beans, corn, green onion, cilantro and garlic; COOK for 1 minute longer.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish. Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Brown the beef well: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to develop a rich, savory sauce.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for corn, black beans, and tomatoes, but you can also add other vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.
  • Season the dish well: Mexican food is known for its bold flavors. Be generous with the spices, especially the chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
  • Use a good quality cornbread mix: The cornbread is a key component of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality mix. Look for a mix that is made with whole grain cornmeal and has a good flavor.
  • Don't overbake the cornbread: The cornbread should be cooked through, but it should not be dry. Overbaking the cornbread will make it tough and crumbly.

Conclusion:

This Mexican beef and cornbread pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of the savory beef filling and the sweet cornbread topping is irresistible. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
