Baked Beef and Black Bean Tamale Casserole

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and green pepper over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain the excess fat.

2. 2

   Stir the black beans and salsa into the beef mixture. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, combine the cornbread/muffin mix, milk, and egg. Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 375°F for 5-6 minutes.

4. 4

   Spoon the beef and bean mixture over the partially baked cornbread crust, leaving a 1/2-inch edge. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top and bake for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream and sliced olives, if desired.
