A delightful Tex-Mex inspired pie with a crispy crust and flavorful beef filling, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 450°F and lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick spray.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Sprinkle a tablespoon of cornmeal evenly over the bottom and sides of the prepared pie plate.
This helps prevent the crust from sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and oil, stirring until a dough forms.
Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 10-inch circle.
Use a rolling pin to achieve an even thickness.
Place the rolled dough into the prepared pie plate and shape the edges to form a rim.
Press gently to avoid tearing the dough.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Break up the beef with a spatula for even cooking.
Stir the salsa into the cooked beef and mix well.
Use chunky salsa for added texture.
Spoon the beef mixture into the prepared crust and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Spread the filling evenly for consistent baking.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
Check the pie halfway through to ensure even baking.
Top the baked pie with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and a dollop of sour cream.
Add toppings just before serving for freshness.
Serve the pie warm and enjoy your Tex-Mex creation.
Pair with a side of guacamole for a complete meal.
