Cornbread Tamale Pie

This is my comfort food, 

Mom used to make it all the time growing up and it's become a favorite in my house

Ingredients:

1 lb hamburger 

1 Chopped onion

4 cloves of chopped garlic

1 can (6oz) tomato paste

1 1/4 C water

1 TBS Chili powder 

1 tsp salt

Dash of pepper

1 Can of drained corn

2 packages of "Jiffy" Cornbread mix 

(calls for Eggs, Milk)

Preheat oven to 425

Brown the hamburger, onion and garlic together. Drain grease.

Add the rest of the ingredients, cover and simmer for 15 min. 

While simmering, Mix the cornbread mix according to the package 

(I usually use 2 packages of cornbread mix - I find one doesn't fully cover)

Pour meat mixture into greased 13in x 9in casserole dish. Spoon cornbread mixture over top of meat mixture and Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cornbread is done 

(check with a toothpick through the bread to see if its done)

Serve and Enjoy!
