Tamale Pie 2 Ways

This is made with an interesting cornbread that has creamed corn and green chilies in it. This is not a cornbread I would make for ‘just cornbread’, but it’s very good with this dish.

Starting at the bottom, cornbread, enchilada sauce, spiced ground beef and cheese, baked until the cheese is bubbling and topped with your favorite taco fixings! Ahem… sour cream!

I’ve made it two ways.

The first was in an actual pie, the second is the meat and bean mixture in one cast iron skillet and the cornbread sort of on the side rather than as the crust. There were other changes as well, but to me scooping out the beans and meat and slicing the cornbread is about as close to camping that I’m going to get! That’s my favourite way to make it and to eat it!

This recipe is from 2Teaspoons, with some changes by me.
