ingredients
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 pound lean ground beef or turkey
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 can (28 ounce size) salt-free diced tomatoes
2 cups frozen corn kernels
1 can (2.25 ounce size) sliced black ripe olives, drained
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1 cup nonfat milk
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
directions
In an 11- to 12-inch ovenproof frying pan (2 to 3 inches deep, 2 1/2- to 3-quart capacity) over high heat, stir onion, beef, chili powder, and cumin seeds until beef is crumbled and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add tomatoes (including juices), corn, and olives; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add salt to taste.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together egg, egg white, 1/2 cup cheese, milk, cornmeal, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well blended (mixture will be thin). Pour evenly over hot meat mixture. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 cup cheese.
Bake in a 400 degrees F regular or convection oven until the top feels firm when lightly touched, about 15 minutes. Scoop out servings with a large spoon. Add salt to taste.
NOTE: If your frying pan is not big enough to add the topping transfer hot meat mixture to a hot, shallow 3-quart casserole (warm in oven as it preheats), then continue.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Very similar to what I remembered my mother making, family loved it. I prefer crushed tomatoes, otherwise I followed recipe. So easy to make!

This is the tamale pie I remember. Cumin and chile powder are the correct seasoning combo. Modifications: Used crushed tomatos rather than diced. Add a few dashes of favorite hot sauce. Double the black olives. Used 11 oz can corn rather than 2c frozen. 2 handfuls grated cheese on top rather than mixed with corn meal batter.
