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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place a large (11-12") cast iron over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, swirl to coat, and add ground beef. Season generously with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to color, about 5 minutes. Add onion and bell pepper and season again with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until softened, and turning golden on the edges, about 7 minutes more. Add chile powder, cumin, and garlic, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add corn, black beans, and tomatoes. Let cook an additional 5 minutes and add cilantro. Stir to combine. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk to combine cornbread mix, egg, and milk. Pour on top of vegetable-bean mixture. Spread in an even layer (it's okay if some of the filling pokes through the cornbread batter), drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and transfer to oven. Cook until golden on the edges and bubbling, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Serve warm or at room temperature, with sour cream and cilantro.

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.
Tips:
- Use a large skillet to ensure that the tamale pie has enough space to cook evenly.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet with ingredients. If necessary, cook the ingredients in batches.
- Be sure to brown the ground beef and sausage well. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the tamale pie. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients.
- Do not overcook the tamale pie. The cornbread topping should be golden brown and the filling should be hot and bubbly.
- Let the tamale pie cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Conclusion:
Skillet tamale pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover ground beef or sausage, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With its combination of savory filling and crispy cornbread topping, skillet tamale pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
