How to Make Tamale Round About

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Add 1 cup of salsa and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. While the meat simmers, chop 1 medium bell pepper and sprinkle it evenly in the bottom of the prepared bundt pan.
  5. In a separate bowl, prepare the corn muffin mix according to package directions. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Pour half of the cornbread batter over the chopped bell peppers in the bundt pan.
  7. Carefully pour the meat mixture over the cornbread batter.
  8. Spread the remaining cornbread batter evenly over the meat.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly browned.
  10. Let the Tamale Round About cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
  11. Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream, cilantro, or your favorite toppings.
