How to Make Layered Tamale Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until tender but not browned (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1 pound ground beef to the skillet and brown well, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning and ¾ cup water.
- Let simmer for 5 minutes, uncovered, stirring frequently, until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn (drained), and ½ cup cornmeal.
- Mix well to combine.
- In a 9x9 inch baking dish, layer 4 (6-inch) corn tortillas on the bottom, slightly overlapping to cover the pan.
- Spread half of the meat mixture evenly over the tortillas.
- Top with half of 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese.
- Repeat layers with remaining tortillas, meat mixture, and cheese.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the filling is heated through.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting into 8 slices.
- Serve and enjoy!
