How to Make Awesome Easy Tamale Pie

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare your favorite cornbread mix according to package directions. Set aside.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, until translucent (about 5 minutes).
4. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 8-10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
5. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of your favorite salsa, 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), and 1 teaspoon of chili powder (optional). Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened (about 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
6. Pour the beef mixture into a greased 9x9 inch baking dish.
7. Pour the prepared cornbread batter evenly over the beef mixture.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or avocado.
