This was so easy and tasty. The second time I made it I added a drained can of corn, a can of creamed corn (my husband loves corn) a can of mild chopped green chiles and a chopped onion that I'd cooked with the ground beef. It made so much I made two casseroles. The Jiffy cornbread mix makes a wonderful topping. This is a keeper for sure. Thanks Happy Hippie! -
This is so easy and delivious. Definitely a keeper. -
Perfect! I must admit I tweaked it by using leftover chili, but topped with the corn muffin mix and cheese at the end and served it w/ sour cream and a ranch salad and it was the perfect weeknight dinner! From now on this will be how I use up my leftover chili. Thanks HH! -
As tamale pie goes, this went very well. Thanks, Happy Hippie, for a tasty recipe. The only thing I added was a can of chopped green chiles, just because we like the taste of green chilies. Easy to prepare and will become a keeper recipe. Thanks, again.

Wow, this was really good! I used Skip's Chili Seasoning Mix, #19842 in place of the store-bought packet. I then used Cornbread Mix, #4290, posted by Velvetinenut for the topping. Can you stand one more change??? Pinto beans are my bean of choice, so I used a can of them in place of the kidney beans. Also browned an onion with the meat, because I ended up with an extra one cut up and didn't know what else to do with it! I think some black olives would be good with this too! I have seen similar recipes, but they are always much too complicated. This really is easy (even with all my substitutions). Happy Hippie, thank you for posting!

I live in beautiful San Diego where there's never nothin to do. We almost never have days where you can't get outdoors. For fun I love to read, cook, take road trips with my grandson, whom I raise. Take long walks along the beach, bays and lakes. My live in grandson is 12 and the light of my life. I've been teaching him to fish, or should I say I'm exposing him to lake fishing, the people we meet along the way are teaching him while I read and watch. He's dying to go ocean fishing, that one makes me a bit more nervous, but we'll start that soon, probably from piers to start. Nick's only one of my grandchildren though, I have a total of 13, three live in Kansas, the land of Oz. The last time I visited them, it was Christmas time and when I stepped off the plane, the cold air took my breath away and standing there waiting for me in a short-sleeved T-shirt, was my son-in-law. Needless, to say, I spent many days there staying indoors praying for the day I could get back to sunny California -- I never had to endure snow the whole time, thank God! Twenty degrees daily was way out of my comfort zone by a very large margin. There truly is no place like home. I have 8 other grandchildren that are fortunate enought to live in San Diego too. We spend weekends doing things together such as taking in the zoo, wild animal park, Sea World, Knotts Soak City water park (summer), museums, fishing, picknicking and just hanging out. They all love to help grandma cook in the kitchen. I have many cookbooks and can read them like I'd read a novel. My passions are my family, my two boston terriers, Tuffy and Oreo, and gardening, cooking and reading -- oh yeah, I'm totally addicted to Zaar. I don't really have many pet peeves, but a biggie is mean, obnoxious people and those who think they know it all, and liars, I can pick out a deceitful person it an instant. If you can't trust someone, then nothings worth salvaging in the relationship. I hate those who disrespect the environment (no I'm not a tree hugger) but I do hate to see people litter and fail to do simple things such as picking up after themselves in the outdoors such as parks and beaches, and how easy is it to recycle? It's really not too difficult to make an impact on the environment if everybody takes responsibility for their "trash."
