Slow Cooker Tamale Pie image

This is a simple tamale pie recipe that tastes very similar to authentic tamales without all the work! I sometimes double this recipe and make it in a large slow cooker. This recipe is a big hit with my husband. Serve with various toppings such as sour cream, more cheese, salsa, green onions, tomatoes, etc.

Time 5h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 (8.5 ounce) package corn bread/muffin mix
⅓ cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Place the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the beef until it is browned, about 10 minutes, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain the beef, and place it into the slow cooker. Stir in the kidney beans, enchilada sauce, and garlic powder.
  • In a bowl, combine the corn bread mix with milk, egg, and butter, and stir until just mixed. Stir in the Cheddar cheese. Spoon the corn bread mixture over the beef mixture in the slow cooker.
  • Set the cooker to Low, cover, and cook until the corn bread topping is cooked through and set, about 5 hours.

This tamale pie was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The cornbread crust was crispy and the filling was flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

This tamale pie was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra chili powder and cumin to give it more flavor. It was still good, but I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The tamale pie was good, but it wasn't great. The cornbread crust was a bit dry and the filling was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I love the combination of flavors in this tamale pie. The cornbread crust is a nice contrast to the savory filling. I also appreciate that the recipe is customizable. I added some black beans and corn to mine and it turned out great.

This was my first time making tamale pie and it turned out great! I used a gluten-free cornbread mix and it worked perfectly. The pie was hearty and filling, and the leftovers were even better the next day.
