Mom's Tamale Pie image

From Albers Corn Meal carton 1960's, plus 4 new ingredients marked "optional". A true steamed corn mush with chili powder, no eggs. Important: Use California chili powder (instead of New Mexico) for a milder flavor. I actually use only one pound ground beef. Family Note: This is Mom-Mom's recipe exactly, except the "optional" ingredients.

I made this tamale pie with ground turkey instead of beef and it was still delicious.
