Tamale Pie

This recipe only seems to be really detailed and involved but it's actually really easy...not to mention DELICIOUS!

Ingredients
1 Cup Yellow Corn Meal

6 TSP Chili Powder
1 1/2 TSP Salt

3 Cups Water
1 LB Ground Turkey

1/2 Cup Chopped Red Pepper

1 Clove Chopped Garlic
1 Can Chili

1 Can Peeled Tomato

1 Can Yellow Corn

1 small Can sliced black olives

1 1/2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Directions
1. In a saucepan cook 1 Cup Corn Meal, 2 TSP Chili Powder, & 1 TSP salt in 3 Cups Water. Stir constantly until thickened. Pour into a greased 12 x 8 x 2 glass dish spreading onto bottom and sides to make a crust.


2. In a skillet, brown grounded turkey, stirring to break apart.


3. When turkey has browned, add Red Pepper and Garlic, saute until limp.

4. Stir remaining ingredients (except for cheese) into the skillet mixing all ingredients together.

5. Pour turkey mixture onto the Corn Meal Crust.


6. Layer shredded cheese over the top of the turkey and corn meal mixtures.

7. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
