Hot Tamale Pie

Chef John
"While this tamale pie has very little to do with its south-of-the-border namesake, it's a really delicious recipe all the same."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Cook and stir ground beef in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until meat starts to brown and release juices, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and stir in poblano peppers, salt, salsa, oregano, and chipotle powder; cook and stir until seasoned beef is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
- Mix one package of corn muffin mix in a large bowl with 1 egg and 1/3 cup of milk. Whisk to combine. In a separate large bowl, mix the second package of corn muffin mix with 1 egg, 1/3 cup of milk and half the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
- Spread the prepared corn muffin mixture without cheese into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle corn over the muffin mix, followed by remaining half of the cheeses, then the beef mixture.
- Spoon the corn muffin mix with cheese on top of the beef and carefully spread over the top with a fork, leaving about half an inch from the edges of the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, until golden brown.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- You can substitute red or green bell peppers for the poblano peppers if needed.
- Editor's Note:
- This recipe freezes well, whether baked or unbaked. If you freeze it unbaked, bake it, covered in foil, for an extra 30-40 minutes until cornbread is golden and casserole is heated through.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

Awesome recipe idea! I like another person used canned RoTel and I added minced garlic and onions while the meat cooked. I then topped it with sour cream when I served it!

All things considered, this is a simple but tasty recipe that I keep changing to find new combinations of ingredients. I think the cornbread on the top and bottom is a bit much for me but my son...

Yep! It's a keeper! There are only two of us, so I cut the recipe in half, and baked in an 8 x 8 brownie pan. I was careful to keep the layers separate, so it looked as gorgeous as shown in Che...

Ok, took me awhile to find this recipe because I only saw the video once prior to making it lol. Thusly I did change a few things, relatively minor. First, we have no Jiffy cornmeal mix up here ...

Great starting place. Easy to customize. I gave it four stars because it calls for corn muffin mix. I made my family corn bread (1 C flour, 2/3 C corn meal, 1/3 C sugar, 4 t. baking powder, 1...

OMG! I love this recipe. It was absolutely delicious. My 6 year old loved it also and she is a picky eater. My only thing I would change next time is use more cornbread, only because I'm a c...

Great recipe. My family really liked it. I used 4 large poblano peppers, which was just under a pound total. I only cooked it 50 minutes, and I could have probably taken it out of the oven after...
