Cornbread Tamale Pie
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 16 oz cans diced tomatoes
- 1 box cornbread mix, like Jiffy, plus additional ingredients needed (usually milk and egg)
- Red pepper flakes, optional (gives it some extra heat!)
- Salt to taste
Additional toppings (optional):
- Shredded cheese
- Salsa
- Sour cream
- Black olives
You’ll also need:
- Iron skillet
- Medium size bowl
- Fork or whisk
- Measuring cups
- Heat resistant spatula
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Brown ground beef in the iron skillet over medium heat, adding the diced onion and bell pepper as you go. The pepper and onions will good until tender while the beef browns. Drain and safely dispose of the grease drippings once the beef is thoroughly browned.
- While onion and peppers cook and the beef is browning, prepare cornbread mix in a medium bowl according to package directions and set aside.
- Add both cans of diced tomatoes to the beef mixture, stirring to combine. Add a dash of red pepper flakes and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour the cornbread batter directly on top of the meat and vegetable mixture, smoothing it to the edges to evenly cover. Place the skilley in the oven and bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Serve with optional toppings.
You’ll love how simple this meal is to assemble and prepare as an “all in one” dish! It’s also incredibly easy to make while on the road in your new or used RV since most of the ingredients are pantry staples. If you want to make it even easier, substitute the fresh onion and pepper for 1 cup each of frozen diced onions and peppers. It cuts back on even more dishes to wash!
