Tamale Pie US Army [40s 50s]
Source of Recipe

List of Ingredients
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.
