Crockpot Beef Tamale Pie Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This crockpot beef tamale pie uses corn muffin mix for an easy topping packed with a sweet, earthy flavor. It pairs nicely with a crisp green salad tossed with avocado and cherry tomatoes, served with a creamy salad dressing. The ground beef is cooked with onion and garlic, then combined with beans, salsa, and seasonings. That goes into the slow cooker first; a topping made with corn muffin mix and cheese bakes on top. Serve with a cool mixture of sour cream, cherry tomatoes, and green onions. And a cold beer on the side. Make sure to test the cornbread topping with the toothpick before you serve this fabulous pie. And remember-this is a "Fake" Tamale, with a cornbread topping subbing for the tamale batter. Nobody claimed it's authentic-just delicious.
