Making this Tamale Pie is one of my most favorite dishes to prepare. It is
easy and it is delicious. THE INGREDIENTS 1 lb. Ground Turkey - (Ground Beef if you prefer)
Making the Tamale Pie:
1. Crumble the sausage into a large skillet and cook until browned and done.
Drain the fat off and discard it. Wipe the skillet. Place sausage on
paper towels to absorb remaining fat.
2. Heat olive oil over low heat and add the onions, bell pepper and celery.
Cook until softened.
3. Add the turkey and garlic. Cook until turkey is browned and done. Add the
sausage.
4. Add the seasonings and taste to insure that the salt level is appropriate.
5. Add the canned tomatoes and the tomato sauce. Adjust seasonings. Cover
and simmer for about 40 minutes.
6. Using a greased Pyrex dish (8"x11.5"x2.5"), line the bottom
with about 6 tortillas coming up the sides.
7. Cut some of the tamales into 2" chunks and place atop the tortillas
to make a layer.
8. Spoon a layer of the meat mixture over the tamales.
9. Sprinkle a thick layer of cheese over the meat mixture.
10. Make another layer by placing enough tortillas over the cheese to cover.
11. Continue with the layers once more, ending with a thick layer of cheese.
12. Garnish placing the olives in a design and sprinkling the sliced green onions
on top.
13. Sprinkle top with a wee bit of salt, black pepper and paprika.
14. Place in an oven that has been preheated to 325 degrees and bake uncovered
for 40 to 45 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
