Tamale Pie image

To accommodate the time constraints of modern life, more and more Thanksgiving dinner hosts are proposing potluck. The change has caused a subtle shift in the conversations about the approaching holidays. The traditional complaints -- "Aaugh! My mother-in-law's cooking!" -- have been updated: "She's asked everybody to bring something. Well, at least there'll be one thing we can eat."

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 17-ounce cans corn niblets, drained if necessary
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
3 cups whole milk
3 eggs
3/4 cup minced onion
1 medium-size red bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon corn oil
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 cup crushed tomatoes
1 16-ounce can pinto beans, drained
Tabasco sauce
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch pan or a 5-quart casserole with 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Puree corn and set aside. In a large heavy-bottomed pan, melt the pound of butter over medium heat. Add flour and cornmeal and stir until smooth. Using a wire whisk, beat in milk and eggs. Add corn puree and cook for 5 minutes, until thick.
  • Pour two-thirds of the corn mixture into the prepared pan. Put in oven and bake until the top is brown and set, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onion and pepper in the oil until soft. Add the beef and cook until brown, about 5 minutes. Drain excess oil from skillet. Add tomatoes, beans, Tabasco, cumin, cayenne, oregano and salt. Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes and remove from heat.
  • Remove cornmeal mixture from oven and, with a slotted spoon, top with the meat mixture. Using a spatula, spread remaining uncooked cornmeal mixture over the meat. Return to oven and bake until the top is light brown and set, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest about 15 minutes before cutting. Casserole can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for a week. Reheat for 15 minutes in a 350-degree oven before serving.

The tamale pie was good, but the cornbread topping was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe for the cornbread next time.

This tamale pie was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.
