Instructions
- The first step in this Easy Tamale Pie with Masa Harina recipe is to focus on preparing the ingredients and setting up your equipment. Make sure that the pans are ready and prepped. The oven should also be preheated at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- To prepare the ingredients, you will need to clean the cutting board and slice the hot peppers, onions, and other garnishes like cilantro. Place these slices to the side for later.
- On the stovetop, place a pan. Set the heat to a medium-low. In the pan, add the onions, half of the sliced peppers, all the seasonings, and the olive oil to the pan. As it simmers, add the ground beef. As it cooks, stir the meat.
- In a large glass bowl, start making the masa using the harina, the milk, butter, baking soda, and egg. I like to use a whisk as this gets the tough clumps of harina masa. However, you can use a spoon or fork to mix the dough or 'topping' of the tamale pie.
- During the fourth step in this Easy Tamale Pie with Masa Harina recipe, you will need to use the baking pan and the ingredients. In the masa, add the rest of the seasonings and the peppers. First, in the pan, add the ground beef with sprinkled cheese. On top of the beef, pour the masa so that it covers the meat.
- In the fifth step of this Easy Tamale Pie with Masa Harina recipe, it is important to only place the tamale pie when the oven is done pre-heating to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake this tamale pie for about 25-30 minutes, or until the masa and dough rise.
- After the 25-30 minutes are over, you can garnish as you would like! Cut the tamale pie into thick slices and serve with friends and family.
