This is a quick, hearty comfort dish which is easy to make. It tastes like tamales, without the work! I am always asked for the recipe wherever I make it. You can make the meat mixture ahead of time, and just do the cornbread when you are ready to bake. Ingredients:
1 (8 1/2 ounce) box cornbread mix (i use jiffy) |
1 egg |
1/3 cup milk |
1 pinch black pepper (less to taste) |
1 lb ground beef, browned drained & rinsed |
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste |
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies |
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained |
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can corn, drained |
Directions:
1. Mix corn bread mix, egg, and milk and let set.
2. Brown ground beef in 1 cup water for fine crumbles. Drain and rinse fat.
3. Mix all non-cornbread ingredients.
4. Spray or grease an 8x8 pan.
5. Spread all of meat mixture in pan.
6. Carefully pour cornbread on top.
