How to Make Us Army Tamale Pie 1940S 1950S
- Brown 1 lb of your favorite sausage (hot or mild) in a large (5-6 quart) pot over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 (15 ounce) can of corn, 1 (15 ounce) can of tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and salt and pepper to taste to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 2 cups milk, and 2 large eggs until smooth.
- Pour the cornmeal mixture into the sausage and vegetable mixture. Stir continuously for 15 minutes, scraping the bottom and sides of the pot to prevent sticking. The mixture will thicken.
- Pour the mixture into two greased 8x8 inch baking dishes.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let the tamale pie rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with a healthy side salad and steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
