How to Make Albers Tamale Pie Casserole
- **Make the Cornmeal Crust:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 cup evaporated milk, and 1/2 cup water.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes or until thickened to a porridge-like consistency.
- Remove 1/2 cup of the cornmeal mixture and set aside, covering it with plastic wrap.
- Grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Spread the remaining cornmeal mixture evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the crust to set slightly.
- Bake in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven.
- **Prepare the Filling:** In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 cup frozen corn, 1/2 cup chopped green olives, 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Spoon the beef mixture into the cornmeal crust.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of the reserved cornmeal mixture over the top of the filling. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
