Marion's Hot Tamale Pie

First of all, let me say that chopping onions is always a problem for me... here are my eyes after just three slices of the onion!
Now for the recipe...
Brown chopped onion till soft (can add a little garlic if you want)
Add ½ bell pepper chopped
Add 1 ½ lb ground beef
Brown meat
Add 1 can tomato sauce and 1 can petite chopped tomato
Cook all that… add a little salt pepper and one teaspoon chili powder
Add 1 can corn
Stir that up
Pour mixture into baking dish... here's a photo of it at this stage...
Get jiffy cornbread mix… follow package directions… pour that on top of ground meat mixture…
Bake at 350 about 30 minutes (uncovered) until cornbread is brown.  Here's a photo of the finished meal! (And it smells YUMMY!)

This is something Marion just made up... she just gave me the recipe over the phone.  Mike loved this!  He would microwave it until it was all gone! 

Craig gives it two thumbs up and Nesi gives it five wags!  It was really delicious! Here's a picture of his plate:


Now to pick my next meal...

  1. Your eyes are hilarious. I've seen two different ways to handle this on the cooking channel. 1. put the onion in the freezer for about 20 minutes, then cut it up. 2. wear your swimming goggles. I tried the freezer one. It sort of worked. The recipe looks delicious. Tamale pie is one of my all time favorites.
