- 4 oz green chilies, canned and diced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
- 15 oz black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels

- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 8.5 oz cornbread mix
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 egg

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion, garlic, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the green chilies, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the beef mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, prepare the cornbread mix by combining the cornbread mix, milk, and egg. Stir until just combined.
Pour the cornbread batter evenly over the beef mixture in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cornbread topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and set.
Let the Tamale Pie rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy this hearty, flavorful dish!
