Mexican Meat and Potato Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • garlic powder to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • 3/4 cup hot water
  • 1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (8.5 ounce) package corn muffin mix
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2
Spray a standard-sized 9x13 inch baking dish with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent food from sticking.
3
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the beef and onion. Allow them to cook until the beef is uniformly browned and the onion is soft, releasing any excess grease in the process.
4
Season the beef mixture with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to add flavor. Combine this with the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Mix in a packet of taco seasoning and water to create the desired flavor profile. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, or until it reaches a thickened consistency.
6
Transfer the cooked mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread an even layer of corn over the top.
7
Follow the package instructions to prepare a corn muffin mix, spreading it evenly over the layer of corn in the baking dish.
8
Bake the mixture in your preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until it is puffed and golden brown.
9
Finish the dish by sprinkling a few olives and shredded cheese on top, adding a touch of elegance to the finished product.
