Anyone know the name of a meal that has ground beef and taco seasoning but the top is cornbread?

Question

It might call for tomatoe soup too, but the top you put cornbread and then bake it all.

Answer 1

tamale pie

Answer 2

Most people call that Tamale Pie, Tamale Bake, or Tamale Casserole, but there's no official answer.

Variations: add canned corn and/or canned chopped chiles to the cornbread or top the cornbread with shredded cheddar cheese.

You make it by following the recipe for tacos on the taco mix package, place it in a casserole dish or large pie pan, and spread the corn bread batter (a box of Jiffy mix is the right size) over the top. Bake as for cornbread.
