Tamale Pie US Army [40s 50s]

List of Ingredients




Tamale Pie

1 can tomatoes (28 oz) (sometimes I add
2 cans, since I love tomatoes)
2 cans creamed corn (16 oz each)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbs butter or margarine
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbs. chili powder
1 lb. low fat Italian turkey sausage (either hot or mild)
(the original recipe called for regular old bulk sausage,
but we're trying to be healthier, and this works great)
1 tsp. salt
2 cans black olives, drained well (16 oz each)
2 cups yellow corn meal
3 cups milk (I use skim)
3 beaten eggs (or equivalent egg substitute)



Recipe



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.

To anyone interested in the USArmy cooking the chili is under chili on this site and the SOS is under beef on toast if I remember correctly but both are listed on my site
