Us Army Tamale Pie 1940S 1950S - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes
2 (16 ounce) cans creamed corn
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 lb bulk sausage or 1 lb low fat Italian turkey sausage
1 teaspoon salt
2 (16 ounce) cans black olives, drained well
2 cups yellow cornmeal
3 cups milk or 3 cups skim milk
3 beaten eggs or 3/4 cup Egg Beaters egg substitute

Preparation

Sausage can be hot or mild.
Combine all ingredients except corn meal, milk, and eggs in 5 or 6 quart pan.
Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add corn meal, milk, and eggs.
Cook an additional 15 minutes, stirring often, since it can stick.
Pour into 2 greased (or sprayed) baking dishes (9x13 ish; this isn't critical; it can be in slightly smaller ones, but baking time may be slightly longer)
Bake in 350 oven for about 30 minutes, until well set. Let sit for 5 minutes or so before cutting. Consistency should be just slightly less firm than cornbread.
