C :: week 17 :: Tamale Pie

Well, this week I didn't feel like finding a new recipe, so I'm making one of my classic meals - Tamale Pie.  It's so good.  And you use the slow cooker, so it's super easy.

 Chop up an onion and sauté it up with some garlic.

 Then add a pound of ground beef and cook it up.

 Drain off the fat.

 Add taco seasoning.

 Then chop up a tomato and a jalapeño.

 And add them to the meat mixture.

 Then put it in the crockpot.  Add a can of drained corn and a can of rinsed and drained black beans.

Put the lid on and cook it for a few hours.  About an hour before make up some cornbread.  You can use a corn bread muffin mix, or make your own mix up.  I used a recipe from my BHG recipe book - don't double it.  Make a single batch, otherwise you end up with a super thick cornbread on top!  

It's so yummy!
