Skillet Tamale Pie
From Cook's Country
To prevent our Skillet Tamale Pie from being greasy, we used lean ground beef (90 percent lean) for the filling. To save time, we crumbled store-bought cornbread for the topping.
Serves 4 to 6
The addition of shredded cheese to the topping improves flavor and texture. As the cheese melts, it binds the cornbread, producing a more cohesive, tamale-like topping.
