Easy Tamale Casserole

Easy Tamale Casserole

This tamale casserole gives me memories of home. My mom liked to make the Hamburger Helper version of this recipe. When I moved to another state, I could not find it, so I came up with this. My hubby likes for me to spice this up sometimes, so I will add a 14-ounce can of tomatoes and green chiles or use a Mexican-style cornbread mix.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
  • 1 (6 ounce) box cornbread mix
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Season beef with salt and black pepper.

Step 3
Stir onion into ground beef; cook and stir over medium heat for 1 minute, then immediately remove the skillet from heat. Stir in pinto beans and crushed tomatoes.

Step 4
Beat together cream-style corn, cornbread mix, and egg in a large bowl until smooth; spread over ground beef mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and cornbread is set in the middle, about 25 minutes.
