Tamale Pie or something like that

I have been lucky enough to get my hands on a box of cornbread mix (I had to remortgage my house to buy it, but I have it...) and I was looking for a recipe for a Tamale Pie, or some kind of Mexican pie with cornbread on the top! Does anyone have one that they make?

Thanks!!!

Oh, I also managed to get a box of Funfetti Cupcake mix...it cost a bomb, but the little things make my day!!

MEXICAN CORNBREAD PIE

Bake in a 13 x 9 inch casserole dish.

INGREDIENTS:

SPICE MIX
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon flour

FILLING
1 can black, pinto or refried beans
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced 1 medium zucchini or two small1 cup green beans, cooked
2 cups frozen corn, thawed, or 1 can (15-ounce) corn, drained
2 cans (14 1/2-ounce) Mexican or chili-style diced tomatoes (I subbed two small fresh tomatoes)

CORN BREAD TOPPING
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil

1. Lightly oil the dish. Combine the spice mix ingredients in a small bowl. Mix beans with spice mix and spread in pan.

2. Saute onion, garlic, bell pepper and zucchini. If using fresh green beans, steam lightly. Add beans and corn to sauteed vegetables; mix together and spread over beans in dish.

3. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk the egg, milk, and oil in a separate bowl. Add the dry mixture to the eggs and whisk until evenly blended. Spoon the batter over the filling and spread it evenly with a spatula.

4. Bake for 22 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
