Sunday Supper Tamale Pie Recipe

One dish supper for Tex-Mex lovers.

A CES poster made this with Jiffy, and said it was too sweet. I agree, so if you use Jiffy, mix it up, taste a bit, and add Tabasco or pepper to taste. This balances the sweetness, but does not add more salt.

    Never had Tamale anything before. This recipe was delicious, although it was a touch too sweet for my taste. Used the Jiffy corn muffin mix, but wonder if some other corn based product would cut some of the sweet down. Any suggestions?
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

      Hi,

      Glad you liked it. I noted Tabasco to taste. That cuts the sugar. Also, you could add some chopped green chilis (canned), or make homemade cornbread. I don't know if Martha White's or Pioneer's is any less sweet. Look at the links above for cornbread suggestions. I've made all of them and they're good. Just don't add more than a tbs. of sugar to any of them.

        I am going to try this recipe today! My husband doesn't like things that are too sweet, and can't go too spicy either. I am wondering if it would work just to substitute regular cornmeal for the Jiffy corn muffin mix?

          No, it won't. Just make a low sugar homemade cornbread. Jiffy contains baking powder and other ingredients that make it rise and bake properly, Second suggestion is to try another brand like Martha White or Pioneer.

          Let me know what you came up with.

          Thanks,

          Myra
