You can use whatever you have to make this. Sometimes I leave out one of the ingredients if I don't have it. You mainly need the meat, the taco seasoning, the cheese and the corn muffin mix.

How To Make tamale pie
-
1In a large cast iron frying pan, brown the hamburger and pork together salting to taste and add 1/4 of taco seasoning (I use Costco's. You could just use 1 package of taco seasoning if you wanted.)
-
2Stir in all other ingredients until well combined. Do not drain the tomatoes or chilis but do drain the olives.
-
3Make the corn muffin mix to the package directions. For a Jiffy mix, you use 1 egg and 1/3 cup of milk.
-
4Sprinkle cheese over the meat mixture and gently spread the prepared corn muffin mix over the cheese. Bake 20 minutes at 400 degrees. If you don't have a cast iron pan, transfer the meat mixture to a well greased casserole dish before topping with cheese and corn muffin mix.
-
5Serve with sour cream, chopped green onions, salsa and more shredded cheese.
