Black Bean Tamale Pie

Mer, sorry it took so long for me to post this....

Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup salsa
1 package (8-1/2 ounces) corn bread/muffin mix
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Directions: In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in beans and salsa; set aside. In a bowl, combine the muffin mix, milk, egg and 1 cup cheese. Pour into a greased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 375° for 5-6 minutes. Spoon beef mixture over crust, leaving a 1/2-in. edge. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 1-2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream and olives if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
