Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
-
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
-
Stir in the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let the chili simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Transfer the chili mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chili layer.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the cornbread topping.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Pour the cornbread batter over the chili and cheese layer, spreading it out gently with a spatula.
-
Bake the Tamale Pie in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of this delicious Tamale Pie with your loved ones.
