Cooked slowly on the low setting, this dish is best assembled about seven to eight hours before you plan on eating it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mexican-foods-take\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mexican-foods-take\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Authentic Mexican recipes<\/a> are known for their fresh, savory flavors, their beautiful array of chiles and of course, their frequent use of corn. This recipe takes those attributes and packs them into a more Americanized casserole.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Slow-Cooker Tamale Pie<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ground beef:<\/strong> Most often, ground beef is made from chuck, a cut located near the neck and shoulders.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cumin:<\/strong> Native to both Egypt and the Mediterranean region, cumin has become a popular spice worldwide, and is very common in Mexican cuisine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chili powder:<\/strong> Feel free to choose the variety of chili powder that fits your tastes. For example, ancho or chipotle chili powder are both popular.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pepper:<\/strong> Peppercorns are actually the small fruits of the pepper plant. Mild in heat, pepper is mainly added for flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Black beans:<\/strong> Due to their earthy flavor and creamy texture, black beans combine wonderfully with ground beef.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomatoes:<\/strong> We recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-canning-tomatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-canning-tomatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">canned tomatoes<\/a> for this recipe. Since the tomatoes will be cooked for a few hours, fresh tomatoes won&#8217;t have a chance to shine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green chiles:<\/strong> Canned green chiles are usually made with Hatch or Anaheim chiles, which are mild in heat. Feel free to dice fresh ones or use an equivalent amount of fresh poblano peppers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corn:<\/strong> As one of the iconic ingredients of Mexican cuisine, using whole corn kernels adds both color and flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enchilada sauce:<\/strong> While Mexican food uses both green and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/ash-s-sweet-and-spicy-enchilada-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/ash-s-sweet-and-spicy-enchilada-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">red enchilada sauce<\/a>, the latter works better in this slow-cooker tamale pie recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green onion:<\/strong> We like the mild sweetness of green onion, but most\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">types of onions<\/a> work well in this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cilantro:<\/strong> This herb gives a fresh flavor to this otherwise very savory dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornbread mix:<\/strong> Traditional tamale dough is made with corn flour and pork lard, but this process can take some time. Using cornbread mix creates a similar effect, but in a fraction of the time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> The eggs in this recipe help the cornbread mix form a dough.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mexican cheese blend:<\/strong> This blend of cheeses usually includes both American and Mexican cheeses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour cream (optional):<\/strong> If you want to try a traditional Mexican ingredient that&#8217;s similar to sour cream, <em>crema<\/em> or <em>nata<\/em> are both good options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the ground beef<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2073324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Crockpot-Tamale-Pie_TOHD24_49361_EricKleinberg_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Crockpot Tamale Pie photo of the cooked ground beef.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large skillet, cook the beef over medium heat until it&#8217;s no longer pink.

Next, they&#8217;re steamed in a corn husk (or sometimes banana leaves). Making tamales from scratch can take all day, so this slow-cooker tamale pie gives you a similar flavor, without the need to commit as much time and effort.<\/p>\n<h3>What can I add to cornbread to make it taste better?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to make your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/buttery-cornbread\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/buttery-cornbread\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cornbread<\/a> more flavorful, we suggest working some cumin and chili powder straight into the dough. You can also add some of the whole corn kernels or incorporate the cheese right into the dough.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you put raw beef into the slow-cooker?<\/h3>\n<p>Technically, ground beef can cook in the slow-cooker without a problem. That said, if you do this you\u2019ll end up with a lot of excess liquid and grease, which can turn your slow-cooker tamale pie into a mess. Browning the meat first will add more flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canned beans and cornbread muffin mix speed up the prep on this crowd-pleasing main dish that\u2019s

Will definitely make this again, maybe substituting 1 package of taco seasoning for the cumin, chili powder and salt and seeing what happens. Love the convenience of this recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":83,"DateRated":"08\/05\/2010 08:44","GUID":"825BF39B3DE14766A408DEF76D29F427","MemberId":2612786,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"khelser","SubmittedDate":"08\/05\/2010 08:44"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":84,"DateRated":"08\/04\/2010 15:25","GUID":"4197e9e9b0bc49aaa8108e136b65c0a6","MemberId":5332002,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"emylicious","SubmittedDate":"08\/04\/2010 15:25"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":85,"DateRated":"07\/30\/2010 23:55","GUID":"0dc0a2db8a7344c482c68a9b56a46436","MemberId":4985940,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"masonjarz","SubmittedDate":"07\/30\/2010 23:55"},{"Comment":"<p>very good. my family really enjoyed this recipe.

I didn't have green onions, so I substituted a whole medium white onion. Also used a can of diced tomatoes with jalapenos instead of chilies, and added 3 cloves minced garlic. Since my husband and I like spicy food, I doubled the amount of chili powder. It was wonderful! The sweetness of the cornbread mixed with the spice of the 'pie' was a nice blend. I definitely needed the sour cream to cool down the heat, while my husband was adding hot sauce to spice it up, lol. This recipe will definitely be made many more times in our house!!! Thanks TOH!<\/p>","CommentId":87,"DateRated":"07\/27\/2010 13:40","GUID":"f4496b5d4a084a0b963e88c92ee9c68d","MemberId":5175258,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"MrsRoot","SubmittedDate":"07\/27\/2010 13:40"},{"Comment":"<p>This was the best recipe.
