Tamale Pie Pronto Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Mix the masa with the broth in a large bowl and stir to combine. In a mixer, beat the shortening, butter, baking powder and salt. Add the masa mixture to the mixer bowl in 3 additions and beat until combined and soft. Cover and refrigerate while you make the filling.
• For the filling: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Cook the beef, breaking up any lumps, until it is no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the grease from the skillet.
• Add the onion, bell pepper, jalapeno and poblano to the skillet and season with the chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook until just beginning to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, broth and tomato paste and bring to a boil. Add the beans and return the meat to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and simmer for about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with butter. Line the skillet with a little over half of the masa mixture and press. Add the filling, then spoon the rest of the masa mixture over the top. Bake until the top is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. MAKING LAYER 1: Combine cold water, chili powder, salt, and corn meal in saucepan and stir to combine and prevent lumps. Then bring to boil and reduce to cook over medium heat. Cook until quite thick (about 10 min) stirring frequently.
• 2. Set aside 3/4 C of cooked cornmeal for top layer
• 3. Use the rest of the corn meal to line the sides and bottom of a buttered 1 1/2 qt casserole dish. You are making a kind of "well" to hold the ingredients. Since this recipe has both a bottom and a top layer of the cornmeal mush it is more like a true tamale pie.
• 4. MAKING LAYER 2 -- THE FILLING: Combine chili con carne, green pepper, olives and corn in saucepan over medium heat. Heat until hot. Pour into casserole. (This is the flexible layer... you can add nearly anything that your heart desires and it will most likely be good -- feel free to experiment with ground beef, leave out the olives, add chilies, whole corn instead of cream corn, onion, even cheese, whatever, etc.!)
• 5. Top with rounded tablespoons of the remaining corn meal mixture,
• 6. Sprinkle all with shredded cheese
• 7. Bake 350 about 25 minutes Then look for the smiles!!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, and bell pepper in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
• Stir tomatoes, tomato sauce, corn, olives, chili powder, garlic, cumin, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper into the skillet. Bring to a low boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup Cheddar cheese and continue to simmer until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish.
• Heat milk, butter, sugar, and salt for topping in a large saucepan over medium heat until butter has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in cornmeal a little at a time, stirring vigorously with each addition, until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup Cheddar cheese. Drizzle in beaten eggs slowly, stirring vigorously until combined. Pour mixture over filling in the prepared dish, smoothing evenly over the surface.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow pie to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch baking or casserole dish.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in corn, tomatoes, oil, chili powder, and cumin. Bring to a boil; remove from heat.
• Combine milk, cornmeal, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in meat mixture. Mix in olives. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, 50 to 60 minutes; mixture should not be mushy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain fat. Stir in the tomatoes, corn, tomato sauce, chili beans, ketchup, onion, and chili powder. Mix well.
• Line the prepared pan with the biscuits, covering the bottom and the sides. Brush biscuits with vegetable oil; sprinkle evenly with cornmeal. Spoon the ground beef mixture into the biscuit-lined dish. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes.
