Tamale Pie

A filling dish, easy to adapt to personal tastes. I portion it out into 6 little foil pie pans before baking, leaving off the cheese, then freeze when cool. Pop one out of the foil and into the microwave for 5-10 minutes, top with cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive or canola oil shopping list
- 1 onion shopping list
- 1 pepper shopping list
- 2-4 cloves garlic, or more if preferred shopping list
- 1/4 cup chopped jalapeño pepper (optional) shopping list
- 1 pound ground meat (beef, lamb or turkey) shopping list
- 2 cups tomato pieces, canned or fresh, with juice shopping list
- 2 cups corn kernels, fresh, canned or frozen shopping list
- 1/2 cup broth, water or wine shopping list
- 1-2 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste shopping list
- 1 cup corn meal shopping list
- 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, jack, or any kind that melts well) shopping list
- salt shopping list
How to make it
- Chop onion, garlic and pepper(s). Heat oil and cook onion, garlic and pepper until softened-- about 5 minutes. Mix meat with 3/4 teaspoon salt, crumble and add to pan. Cook and stir until meat is done.
- Add tomatoes, corn, broth and chili powder. Simmer together while preparing the corn meal.
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Bring 2 cups water to a boil; slowly add corn meal, stirring vigorously to prevent lumping. (Mixture will be quite thick.) Add 1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste.
- Stir corn meal mixture into other ingredients. Sprinkle cheese over the top and bake about 30 minutes. For a firmer consistency, bake 20 minutes, add cheese and bake another 15-25 minutes.
- TIP: if you use an oven-proof skillet to prepare ingredients, bake the pie in it and save cleaning up an extra dish.
