Tamale Pie

cooking spray
1 lb. lean ground beef or turkey
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 poblano pepper, roasted, seeded, and finely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
15.25 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained
14 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained

1/4 tsp. garlic powder
8 1/2 oz. package corn bread mix (such as Jiffy) prepared, but not baked, according to package

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Coat a 9 X 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Coat a large saute pan with cooking spray and set it over medium-high heat. Add beef or turkey, onion, and pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned, about 7 min; drain well. Return mixture to pan and add corn, tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook 10 min. Pour the mixture into prepared baking dish.
Pour prepared corn bread batter over the casserole. Bake 20-25 min., or until topping is cooked and golden.

  1. Take this casserole over the top by adding rinsed & drained black beans to the meat mixture & a layer of Mexican blend or sharp cheddar cheese before the corn bread batter. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream & sliced jalapenos.
