Ingredients

Tamale Pie

A make-ahead casserole with authentic tamale flavor and texture.

1 lb. ground beef

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped green pepper

1 15-oz. Can tomato sauce

2 teaspoons chili powder

1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

3 cups water

1 cup quick grits, uncooked*

1 1.25-oz. pkg. taco seasoning mix

1-1/2 cups (6 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese

1 medium tomato, chopped

Brown meat with onion and green pepper; drain. Add tomato sauce, chili powder and salt, mixing well. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease 13x9-inch glass baking dish. Bring water to a boil, slowly stir in grits and taco seasoning mix. Reduce heat; simmer 3 to 5 minutes or until very thick, stirring occasionally. Spread grits mixture over bottom of prepared baking dish, pushing against sides of dish to form a shell. Spoon hot beef mixture into shell.** Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through. Top with cheese and tomato.
