For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained and rinsed black beans to the meat mixture. A sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese over the top during the last 15 minutes of baking adds a delicious, melty finish. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the meat mixture. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously butter an 8-inch baking or casserole dish to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion to the hot skillet. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the beef is browned and crumbly and the onion is translucent. This should take approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the drained corn, diced tomatoes, vegetable oil, chili powder, and cumin. Bring the mixture to a lively simmer, then remove from heat. (12 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together milk, yellow cornmeal, and eggs until well combined and smooth. Gently stir in the flavorful meat mixture until evenly distributed. Fold in the drained black olives, ensuring they are incorporated throughout. Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. (8 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the tamale pie is beautifully golden brown and set, approximately 50 to 60 minutes. The mixture should be firm to the touch and no longer mushy. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out relatively clean. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. (70 minutes)

May 30, 2025I found that 55 minutes was the perfect baking time for my oven. Just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get too dry.
