Way back in the 1960's my Mom got a recipe for Tamale Pie from somewhere - it was VERY simple: ground beef, peppers and onions, tomatoes in some form, MAYBE some canned whole corn and a cornbread (batter) topping, all baked in a 9x13 pan.

As good as I am at creating & recreating recipes, this one has me stumped - maybe I'm overthinking this. Ideas?

This recipe is a great one for pot luck.

This is my native Oregonian Mother's recipe. She was born here in 1905.
Not spicy hot, but good and simple:
Cast iron 12" skillet:
She used a qt of canned meat (venison) {you can use stew meat or pork or canned chicken or turkey}
1qt canned tomatoes
onion, fried until done
chili powder & or tabasco to taste
salt & pepper to taste
Cook above together until hot.
Meanwhile, cook one cup corn meal in 2 1/2 c. salted water.
Spoon cornmeal mush by spoonful around the skillet you have all other ingredients in.
Do not stir!
Heat in oven (400 degrees) about 30 minutes.
