Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can corn, drained

1 can diced tomatoes, undrained

1 can green chiles, chopped

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 cup masa harina

1 cup chicken broth

2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

1 large egg

½ cup milk

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a large baking dish to prevent sticking and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is tender.

Stir in black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, green chiles, chili powder, and cumin into the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix together masa harina, chicken broth, and egg. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

Spread the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish, and evenly pour the masa harina batter over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the masa layer is set and lightly browned.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful tamale casserole!
