How to Make Super Tamale Pie
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 minced cloves of garlic. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/4 cup water (or more to prevent sticking). Add 1 cup chopped carrots. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add 1 cup chopped bell peppers. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup salsa, 1 (15 ounce) can rinsed and drained kidney beans, and 1/2 cup sliced olives. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 of the Jiffy cornbread mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 1/2 boxes of Jiffy cornbread mix.
- Pour the cornbread batter over the beef mixture, spreading evenly and pressing down gently with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons minced scallions, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream (optional) before serving.
