This is a dish that I hadn’t made for a very long time. Not quite sure why as it is so good and so easy to whip together. I actually got in trouble from Amber as she said why hadn’t you made this for her before because it is so very good!! She gobbled it down and quickly got seconds.
I love Mexican food. There are so many great appetizers/entrees/desserts/drinks that come out of Mexico, the list is endless. I have been to Mexico many times and I have loved my visits every time and especially the food. So come and look at the fabulous list of recipes this #SundaySupper has to offer. They all look great!! So put on your sombrero and pull up a seat senor and senorita!!
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 1-10 oz. can of tomato soup
- 1 cup green pepper, chopped
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- ½ cup salsa
- ¼ cup water
- ¾ cup cornmeal
- 1¼ cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- 3 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- ¼ cup butter
- Preheat oven to 400F. Brown beef in a large saute pan. Then add the rest of the filling ingredients and simmer for 5 min. Place the mixture into a 8×11″ pan sprayed lightly with cooking spray.
- Mix together the cornmeal and milk and set aside for 5 min. Meanwhile stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Stir into the cornmeal mixture the egg and melted butter. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir only to combine, the batter will still be lumpy. Place the batter over the beef mixture.
- Bake for 25 min. until the cornmeal is browned slightly and cooked through.

Thanks so much Erin, it is a good family recipe!
This looks amazing and I have to figure out how to make gluten free.
Thanks for coming by Sheila, and my wonderful friend Jill will tell you how to make it gluten free!
You could just substitute a 50/50 mix of regular rice flour and sweet (aka glutinous) rice flour and a tsp of xanthan or guar gum.
This is incredible. I am totally trying this one. It’s looks so good I just want to hop on a plane and stop by with a plate and fork in hand.
Come on over, anytime!!

You sure can Sarah, thanks for coming over!!
I’m loving the cornbread topping here! How can you complain?
We all love cornbread here!!
This looks incredible! I had Amy’s Tamale Pie once and fell in love, never made it though. This looks like the ticket!
Thanks Sarah!
I love dishes like this! It looks so comforting and delicious!
Jamie @ http://www.mamamommymom.com
Lovely !!! and i am stealing that plate
I haven’t made a tamale pie in a long either…I think it’s because my daughter didn’t like cornbread for the longest time, so I pretty much forgot about this dish. But I’m fairly certain she eats cornbread now, so I know my husband would love it if I put this on our weekly menu. Yours looks really good!
