TAMALE PIE | Ground Beef & Cornbread Casserole

[@ellebee8476]

It's bubbling to perfection in the oven at my home right now. I used my Dear Mom's glass dish to bake it in. She went home to Heaven 16 years ago today! Rest well CLMN!

[@adc2327]

My mom used to make it in that glass dish too! I lost her last year. I used to make it years ago. Now in my older age I am alone, no family, spouse in the house anymore. Haven't seen anyone due to the pandemic. I think we are almost all vaccinated. Looks like there is tamale pie in the near future. Stay safe!

[@phyllissinopoli2655]

Whoda thunk when she was with you that her glass dish would someday become one of your most prized possessions? She's watching you from above creating delicious meals for your family in that dish and smiling! I 🙏🌫

Many many years ago, I was a young wife, I went a friend's party and she made this for her buffet along with other great food. All us friends asked for the recipe and it was the party staple for years. She added black beans, used Jiffy mix, and we loved it. Watching this video at 9am and now I know what's for dinner tonight 😄

[@chrisreeves3820]

Your spice profile was right on. I just made this and doubled it in a deep 13x9. I used 2 jiffys and 2 cans of cream corn. It took approximately 15-20 min longer, so like 45 or so. It turned out great. 🔥👍

[@joshuaramsey4762]

Pretty close to what I do. I just add a can of Rotel and black beads to the ground beef and cut the water back to maybe a quarter cup. 9 x 13 for about 40 minutes. Perfect!

Yes. My mom used to make it in the 60s. I grew up to make it too. I forgot all about it. I remember those olives. Lol!

[@drewman118]

Best version ever! Made this for Thanksgiving, and everyone went wild for it. The creamed corn really takes it over the top for sure. It pairs up perfectly with the sweetness of the sugar, and the heat from the jalapenos. I like that there is a bottom layer of tamale also (not all recipes call for this). Kicks it up to an extra level of comfort, and I topped with a drizzle of red enchilada sauce along with the sour cream and green onions.

[@reinaortega5982]

Made this for my family today. Eating it as I type ❤️❤️❤️It is super delish!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

When my son was little, I made this all the time, but my recipe added a layer of canned tamales on top of the ground beef..it was so good! I'm going to try this one out. Thanks for the recipe!

[@mzche1999]

I made this the other day and it was soooo good! I wanted to use a 13×9 baking dish and so I doubled everything. For the corn bread, I mixed one box of jiffy with the ingredients listed on the box. I added one teaspoon of oil, one can of creamed corn and one half cup of shredded cheese. This was for the bottom crust. I repeated this for the top crust. I did have to cook it about twelve minutes longer. I also cooked the ground beef with a small diced onion. Next time, I think I will mix corn in with the beef. My family loved this!!

Well I made this dish vegan and my family lost their minds! I used Awesome Grounds and made my usual egg/dairy free corn bread. It was delicious, and we had enough leftover for a second lighter snack. There are four of us so you know we ate heartily. I feared it might bake up dry with the double crust but it didn’t. Everyone added their favorite toppers and instead of cheese I mixed a few tablespoons of nutritional yeast and extra water to the meat mixture for the cheesy flavor. (Lots of flexibility is necessary in this time of quarantine). . My vegan version looked exactly like your video. Loved it! Thanks. 👍
