CORNBREAD TAMALE PIE



Cornbread Tamale Pie image

This recipe came to The Times in a 2006 magazine article about the 75th anniversary edition of The Joy of Cooking, the soup-to-nuts cookbook found on practically every home cook's shelf since its first publication in 1931. Like many of the book's beloved recipes, this dish is a crowd-pleasing, homespun classic that is incredibly simple to put together. First, make a quick chili of beef, black beans, corn, green pepper and onion seasoned with chile power and cumin. Spread that in a baking dish, top with a simple cornbread batter and pop it into the oven. In about a half hour: tamale pie. Serve with hot sauce, a dollop of sour cream and a few slices of avocado. If you're trying to eat less red meat, ground turkey or chicken would make a fine substitute for the beef.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup rinsed and drained canned black beans
1 cup corn, drained, canned or frozen (thawed if frozen)
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup beef or chicken broth
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper, optional
1 tablespoon chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Grease a 3-quart high-sided casserole dish with cooking spray. In a large skillet, saute the beef and onion over medium-high heat until the meat is brown and the onion translucent, about 10 minutes. Then add the beans, corn, tomato sauce, broth, bell pepper (if using), chili powder, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and teaspoon salt. In a small bowl whisk together the egg, milk and oil until combined. Whisk the milk mixture into the flour mixture until combined. Spread the meat mixture into the casserole dish and cover with the corn bread topping. The topping will disappear into the meat mixture but will rise during baking and form a layer of corn bread. Bake until the corn bread is brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 pound fresh chorizo, casings removed (about 2 links), or vegetarian substitute such as Lightlife Plant-Based Italian Sausage
1/2 pound ground beef, or vegetarian substitute such as Lightlife Plant-Based Ground
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 large onion, grated on a box grater, divided
1-2 medium jalapeños, thinly sliced, seeded if desired, divided
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 large beefsteak tomatoes (about 2 pounds), cut into 1/2" cubes
2 cups corn kernels (preferably fresh; from about 3 ears of corn), divided
8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated (about 2 cups)
2 large eggs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
1 1/4 cups cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat an 8" cast-iron skillet over high. Pat chorizo and beef dry with paper towels, then press into an even layer in bottom of hot skillet with a spatula. Cook, undisturbed, until a brown crust begins to form on the bottom, about 6 minutes. Turn, break into pieces, and continue to cook until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add tomato paste, cumin, half of grated onion, half of jalapeño, and 1 1/4 tsp. salt and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and well combined, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups corn, and 1 1/2 cups cheese.
  • Whisk eggs, butter, 1/3 cup sour cream, and remaining onion in a medium bowl. Whisk cornmeal, baking powder, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and stir to combine, then stir in 1/4 cup cheese and remaining 1/2 cup corn.
  • Dollop cornbread batter over meat mixture, then smooth into an even layer. Top with remaining jalapeños and 1/4 cup cheese.
  • Bake cornbread until golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Serve with sour cream alongside.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-made tamale dough or cornbread mix.
  • If you're using fresh corn, you'll need to cook it before adding it to the pie.
  • Be sure to drain the excess grease from the ground beef before adding it to the pie.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the cornmeal cheese crust for a more flavorful pie.
  • Top the pie with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

Tamale pie with cornmeal cheese crust is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's a great way to use up leftover tamales or cornbread, and it's also a fun and creative way to serve Mexican food. With its combination of cornmeal, cheese, and ground beef, this pie is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
