Tamale Pie
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1/2 large green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles in adobo)
- 1 8-oz. can tomato sauce
- 2 1-lb. rolls prepared polenta
- 2 cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add meat mix, chili powder and bell pepper; cook, stirring, until beef is browned, about 6 minutes. Stir in adobo and tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer for 3 minutes.
- Mist a 9-by-13-inch pan with cooking spray. Slice both rolls of polenta into 1/8-inch rounds, about 30 pieces total. Line bottom of pan with half of polenta, overlapping if needed.
- Spread meat mixture evenly over polenta and sprinkle with 1 cup cheese. Arrange remaining polenta on top; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover with foil and bake until bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.
