A Simple to Prepare Dinner that’s Fun & Tasty!

I think we all fall into the dinner time rut – and often.

Did you ever imagine how difficult it would be to creatively and effectively serve dinner? Every. Single. Night. *Sigh*

You can prepare a fabulous meal using a combination of pantry staples, fresh produce and fresh meat in about 45 minutes.

This Tamale Pie doesn’t involve a whole lot of work – the most you’ll be doing is browning the ground beef. From there you simmer the beef with the taco seasoning, RO*TEL and corn. Make a simple crust with cornmeal, press it into a greased pie dish, top with the meat mixture and bake. That’s it.

RO*TEL is one of my favorite canned ingredients – it gives this dish so much of it’s flavor and zest.

Line Up the Toppings

I offer a variety of simple toppings with this tamale pie to keep everyone’s tastebuds happy. Snipped cilantro, green onions, avocado slices, hot sauce, sour cream – top it up with whatever your family likes. I also served this Tamale Pie with a side of refried beans topped with melted cheese and chipotle hot sauce.

Cheers to a flavorful and exciting home cooked meal that doesn’t take hours of fussing. Cheers to sitting down with the family and eating a meal together. It’s important to make time for those that matter most!

Thanks for stopping by!
