How to Make Mama's Yeehaw Tamale Pie
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion, and green pepper. Cook until beef is browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, corn, olives, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 tablespoon chili powder, cilantro, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cumin, 2 cups water, and 1 tablespoon chili powder.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in butter.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour half of the cornmeal mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Spread the meat filling evenly over the cornmeal layer.
- Top with the remaining cornmeal mixture, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- If desired, sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese over the top 5 minutes before the baking time is complete.
