World Cuisine Recipe » Not-So-Corny Tamale Pie

Looking for a tamale pie, but not crazy about all that corn? This dish doesn't have bits of corn, it is a nice meat-and-beans dish.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 ½ pounds ground beef
• 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• ½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®)
• 2 (8.5 ounce) packages corn bread mix (such as Jiffy®)
• ⅓ cup milk
• 2 eggs

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; saute onion until lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Add ground beef; cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix pinto beans and black beans into beef mixture.
3. Sprinkle Mexican cheese blend over beef-bean mixture; stir. Mix diced tomatoes with green chile peppers into beef-bean mixture.
4. Mix corn bread mix, milk, and eggs together in a bowl until batter is smooth. Spread batter over top of beef-bean mixture.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cornbread comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.
