How to Make Tamale Pie For Two Ww Core

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a non-stick skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon.
  3. Add 1/2 medium onion (chopped), 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Drain off any excess grease. (Alternatively, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb grease, then return to the skillet).
  5. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/2 cup frozen corn, 1 tablespoon chili powder, and 1/2 tablespoon cornmeal.
  6. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Transfer the beef mixture to a 1-quart casserole dish.
  8. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup cornmeal, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  9. Bring to a light boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
  10. (Microwave alternative: Combine ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until thickened.)
  11. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg white until foamy.
  12. Gradually whisk in the cooked cornmeal mixture until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  13. Stir in 1/4 cup soy cheese (or regular cheese) if desired.
  14. Pour the cornmeal topping over the beef mixture in the casserole dish.
  15. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is puffed and lightly browned.
