1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 cups masa
4 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup shortening
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) salted butter
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno, sliced
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, chopped
One 15-ounce can chopped tomatoes
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
One 15-ounce can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Butter, for greasing the skillet

Steps:

  • For the crust: Mix the masa with the broth in a large bowl and stir to combine. In a mixer, beat the shortening, butter, baking powder and salt. Add the masa mixture to the mixer bowl in 3 additions and beat until combined and soft. Cover and refrigerate while you make the filling.
  • For the filling: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Cook the beef, breaking up any lumps, until it is no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the grease from the skillet.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, jalapeno and poblano to the skillet and season with the chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook until just beginning to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, broth and tomato paste and bring to a boil. Add the beans and return the meat to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with butter. Line the skillet with a little over half of the masa mixture and press. Add the filling, then spoon the rest of the masa mixture over the top. Bake until the top is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

1 pound lean ground beef
Salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 large cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup beef broth OR stock
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile pepper powder (optional (more or less, to taste))
1 (4-ounce) can mild diced green chiles
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Monterey jack cheese (DIVIDED)

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter (melted & cooled)
1 1/2 cups milk (at room temperature)
1 egg (at room temperature)
sour cream, salsa, pico de gallo, diced avocado, diced tomatoes, diced onion, chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • With rack in center position, preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 2.5-quart baking dish (mine was 10.5- by 7.5-inches) or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Set a large skillet, sauté pan, pot, or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking apart and stirring as the meat cooks. Drain grease and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove cooked beef to a separate plate or bowl and return the pot to the stove.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add olive oil and minced garlic; stir for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Whisk in flour and stir continuously for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in beef broth and then tomato sauce, followed by chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic salt, onion powder, dried oregano, and chipotle chile pepper powder (if using), to taste.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer. Reduce to a low simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for a couple minutes or until thickened. Turn off the heat.
  • Stir the cooked ground beef into the sauce as well as the diced green chiles and 1 CUP of the shredded cheese. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the masa harina, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter, milk, egg, and the remaining ½-cup of shredded cheese until all ingredients are just combined. The mixture will be extremely thick.
  • Dollop the masa mixture over the beef mixture in the baking dish and spread to the edges, covering completely. Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and tests done with a toothpick inserted in the center. Serve immediately, plain or topped with your favorite garnishes.
