Tamale Pie

Tamale Pie

1 Pound round steak, cut in cubes (ground meat can be used instead - but make
sure
it is very lean)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 onions, chopped
1 cup salad oil
1 can niblet corn (with juices)
1 can tomatoes (with juices)
3T chili powder
1 1/2 cups yellow corn meal
3 eggs beaten
1 cup milk
1 1/2t salt
Pepper to taste
1 jar stuffed green olives (with juices)
3T butter

Cook meat, garlic, (note my comma!!) and onions in oil about 15 min. Add
corn, tomatoes, and chili powder dissolved in a little water. Cook about 15
min. more, stirring constantly. Add yellow corn meal, well beaten eggs,
milk, salt, pepper, stuffed olives, and butter. Cook 15 min., then pour
into a 2-qt casserole and bake about 1 hr at 350.

I added the juices from all above because otherwise the dish was too dry for my
tastes. This is a very hearty dish which only needs a salad to accompany it.
Easy and good! Enjoy!
