How to Make Ww Core Fiesta Tamale Pie In A Pan

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup cornmeal, 3 cups water, and 1 beef bouillon cube (crumbled).
  3. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the cornmeal mixture evenly in the pan and set aside.
  5. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 medium onion (chopped), and 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped). Brown the beef, breaking it up with a spoon.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons chili powder, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Add 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste, 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), 1 (15 ounce) can corn (drained), and 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed). Mix well.
  8. Pour the beef mixture evenly over the cornmeal layer in the prepared baking pan.
  9. Top with 1 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
