Tamale PieMy late father really loved this recipe. I've never met anyone who didn't, really. It's rich and hearty so it's perfect for a cold winter day.
Tamale Pie
1 lb. ground turkey
1 packet Taco seasoning mix
1 14 oz can corn, drained (or 16 oz bag frozen corn)
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
2 8 oz cans tomato sauce
1 large can French Fried Onions (I think this can is in the 3 oz range)
1 package corn muffin mix, with milk and egg called for on package directions
1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
Brown turkey, drain fat if necessary (I never need to). Add taco seasoning, corn, tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until hot and bubbly. Stir in 1/2 can fried onions. Spread in 9 x 13" pan. Top with corn muffin batter that you've prepared according to package directions and spread evenly to seal edges. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes, or until cornbread is done. Sprinkle with cheese and remaining 1/2 can onions, return to oven for 3 - 5 minutes or until cheese melts and onions are lightly browned. Pass sour cream at the table. Serves 6 - 8. (We served 5 generously and had leftovers for lunch.)
