Tamale pie

When I was a young boy tamale pie was my favorite food. I haven't had it for a long time, so guess what we ate for dinner last night? Yep, you guessed it tacos. Just kidding, we had tamale pie. My son loved it! he had thirds or fourths. The good thing about tamale pie is that it is good and real easy to make.

I fry a pound of hamburger. I put three cans of tomato sauce and a can of cream corn with the meat once it is cooked. I add salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder and a lot of red chile powder. The same chile powder that you would use in your chili. Then put your cornbread batter on top and cook it until the cornbread is fully cooked.


1 pound of hamburger
3 cans of tomato sauce
1 can of cream corn
season it to taste   *****Make sure you use chile powder*****

Cornbread batter   **** Use the cornbread recipe from the prior post it you don't have one of your own.****


You can use beans or even chicken, but I like it simple. The way my mom makes it.
