Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pouch (6.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ cornbread & muffin mix
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg
1 can (4.5 oz) Old El Paso™ chopped green chiles
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (8 oz)
1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2/3 cup water
1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning mix
1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained, rinsed
1 can (10 oz) Old El Paso™ mild enchilada sauce
Fresh toppings, if desired (chopped tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, salsa, diced avocado)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottom and side of 10-inch cast-iron skillet with oil. Heat skillet in oven about 10 minutes or until hot.
  • In medium bowl, stir muffin mix, milk, melted butter and egg just until moistened (batter will be lumpy). Stir in green chiles and 1 cup of the cheese. Spread in hot skillet. Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown around edge. Remove from oven; reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef, bell pepper, onion and garlic over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is no longer pink; drain. Add water and taco seasoning mix; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Add pinto beans; stir until combined.
  • Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes in cornbread (about 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart), and pour enchilada sauce over top, spreading sauce to fill holes. Top with beef and bean mixture and remaining 1 cup cheese. Cover with sheet of foil sprayed with cooking spray; bake 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbling around edge and cheese is melted.
  • Cool 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite fresh toppings.

This tamale pie was easy to make and it was delicious! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time. I also added a layer of sour cream to the top of the pie before baking it. It was a great way to add some extra richness and flavor.

This tamale pie was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some extra spices, such as chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder and cumin next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra chili powder and cumin and it was much better. I also used a sharp cheddar cheese instead of a mild cheddar cheese. It gave the pie a nice sharp flavor.

I'm a vegetarian so I made this pie with black beans and lentils instead of beef. It was still delicious! I also used a cornmeal crust instead of a flour crust. It was a great way to use up some leftover beans and lentils.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pie turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still delicious. I also added a can of diced green chiles for a little extra spice.

I've made this tamale pie several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of beef, beans, and corn is perfect and the chili powder and cumin give it a nice kick. I highly recommend this recipe!
