Found this recipe last week and tried it.  Had to put my own spin on it to use up peas and half a can of tomatoes out of the frig.  It was really good!

Had to pass it along.

This is the original recipe as I obtained it from Doing My Best for Him blog.

Tamale Pie

1 lb. hamburger
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1 can corn
1 can black beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can tomatoes
2 Jiffy corn bread mixes (sweet cornbread mix)
Cheese

Brown hamburger, drain, add taco seasoning. Add veggies and beans. Place in casserole dish and cover with cheese. Mix cornbread batter according to directions and pour over casserole. Bake as directed for corn bread.

Here's how I made it:

I used ground turkey and cooked diced onion with it.  Seasoned it with a little seasoning salt and then added homemade taco seasoning. 

I didn't have black beans or canned pinto beans so I used black eyed peas leftover from New Years' Dinner the day before(rinsed and drained). 

I used one can of whole kernel corn, drained.  And a half can of diced tomatoes, drained. (left over from salads)

I followed the recipe for the remainder except the sweet cornbread mix. 

I made up a" from scratch" version for that and sweetened it with maple syrup.  It made the whole house smell good.

Cornmeal Muffins

Mix with fork or sift together.

Mix
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup shortening, melted

Add liquid to dry ingredients.  Stir to mix.  Bake about 30 minutes at 400*.  Time approx.  just watch closely around twenty. 

Happy eating.......Kristi.
