Ingredients
Serves 6

- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed, drained

Grandma's Secret Tips!
When Grandma needed the stovetop for cooking other dishes, she used a cast-iron skillet to bake this tamale pie. After spreading the cornmeal mixture over the pie, she baked it at 350°F, covered with a lid or aluminium foil, until a toothpick inserted in the crust came out clean, about 30 minutes.
