Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you all had a wonderful (first ever) Family Day.

Today's recipe is similar to my Taco Bake recipe that won me a Trace Adkins CD through Country 95.3, What's for Dinner? contest; the only difference being that I use Bisquick instead of corn muffin mix. The reason I like recipes like this is because they are so versatile, any seasoning or vegetable can be added to the meat to suit your tastes. Enjoy!

Tamale Pie

1 lb. ground beef
2 cups salsa
1 cup frozen corn
1 diced onion
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
oregano, to taste
tabasco, to taste
worchestershire sauce, to taste
8-1/2 oz. just add water corn muffin mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Warm medium skillet, (preferrably oven-proof), over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until beef is no longer pink, breaking into small bits. Drain any excess fat.

2. Add salsa, corn, onion, garlic then oregano, tabasco and worchestershire sauce to taste. Simmer for another 10 minutes.

3. Prepare the muffin batter according to package directions.

4. If using oven-proof skillet: spread meat mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet -OR-
pour beef mixture into a 9-inch pie pan mised with cooking spray.

5. Top meat mixture with muffin batter, spreading out to cover the beef. Top with cheese. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until top is golden.
