How to Make Tasty Tamale Pie Casserole
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 medium onion (chopped) until beef is browned and onions are tender. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in 15 oz can of your favorite salsa, 1/2 cup water, and 1 packet taco seasoning.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped olives (optional).
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup cornmeal, 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk, 4 oz can chopped green chilies (drained), 1/2 cup shredded cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes or until thickened.
- In an 8x8 inch ungreased baking dish, spoon the meat filling into the bottom.
- Spread the cornmeal mixture evenly over the meat.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese and garnish with sliced jalapenos (to taste).
- Bake an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
