Tamale Round-About - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Beef filling
1 1/4 lbs ground beef
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (16 ounce) jar thick & chunky salsa
Cornbread
2 (8 1/2 ounce) boxes Jiffy corn muffin mix
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup red bell peppers or 1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped
sour cream (optional)
cilantro (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray.
For filling, brown the ground beef (drain if necessary & return to pan), sprinkle with seasonings, and add in the salsa. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop the bell pepper(s) and sprinkle them in the bottom of the bundt pan (this is mostly for decoration).
For cornbread, prepare the muffin mix as directed on the box and stir in the cheddar cheese. Spread half the batter over the peppers.
Dump all the meat mixture in the bundt pan next and spread the remaining batter evenly on top of the meat.
Bake 35-40 minutes or until top is lightly browned. Invert onto a serving plate. Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream, cilantro or whatever toppings you like.
