Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • To make the tamale pie filling, you can use either cooked ground beef or ground turkey. If you're using ground beef, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the skillet.
  • You can use any kind of cornbread mix for this recipe. If you're using a mix that contains sugar, you may want to reduce the amount of sugar added to the filling.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet. Just be sure to preheat it over medium heat before adding the filling.
  • Be careful not to overcook the tamale pie. The cornbread should be cooked through, but it should still be moist.
  • Serve the tamale pie immediately, while it's still hot. You can top it with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

Tamale pie is a delicious and easy-to-make comfort food dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual get-together. With its combination of savory filling and sweet cornbread, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give tamale pie a try.
