Tamale pie

Eat Live Run had this simple In-A-Hurry Tamale Pie recipe that looked interesting, so I gave it a try earlier this week. 

We were in a hurry (ha!), so I neglected to take any pics. Here's one from the ELR site:

It was very easy and really good - a keeper for sure! Give it a try :)

1 polenta roll
1 can pinto beans
1 c Mexican cheese blend
Corn from 1 ear
1/2 c salsa
1/2 t salt
1 t chili powder
1 t cumin
1/4 t cayenne pepper
cilantro, sour cream and additional salsa for serving

Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or 9-inch square pan with a little olive oil. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl combine the corn kernels, salsa, pinto beans (and their juice - just dump in the can) and spices. Stir well to combine.

Slice the polenta into 1/4-inch slices. Cover bottom of skillet with overlapping slices. Pour bean mixture on top and top with cheese.

Cover and bake for 15 minutes. Bake an additional 15 minutes uncovered. Serve with minced cilantro, sour cream and salsa.
