A comforting dish that combines the flavors of Mexican cuisine with the ease of a one-pot meal, featuring a cornbread topping over seasoned beef, beans, and vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 lb Ground beef
1 can (15 oz) Black beans (canned, drained)
1 can (15 oz) Sweet corn (canned, drained)
1 can (14.5 oz) Diced tomatoes (canned, with green chiles)
1 tbsp Chili powder
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1 cup Cornmeal
1 cup All-purpose flour
1 tbsp Baking powder
1 cup Milk
1 large Egg
1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Add the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, milk, and egg until smooth. This will be your cornbread topping.
Pour the cornbread mixture over the beef and bean mixture in the skillet. Spread it evenly, ensuring it covers the filling.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the cornbread mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade tamale pie!
