Oh! This will be made soon here for "Miss Jeanine's Kitchen" frequent
offerings to the Marines. Thank you so for sharing. A question: I
will be adding your meat suggestions, but I would (at least) like to
make a double batch. Should there be a change in baking time while
making this in double or possibly triple the ingredients, and in a
large roasting pan such as one may use for roasting a turkey?

<snipped> Sounds good, but I'd have to make the corn bread first. ;-)

I don't *think* you should double the cooking time for larger batches
but you will know your oven better than me. The times are always soft
when I bake; my GE Profile POS jumps between extremes so frequently,
I'd swear it warps the time continuum. I plan on using my roasting
pan, as well, but the original (at the potluck) was provided in a
9"X13" Pyrex.

It traveled very well so I'd agree! No slop and there weren't nothin'
left in the Pyrex.

I'm trying to imagine that recipe made with sugary yankee cornbread.
Actually, I'm trying not to imagine it.

Isn't this a version of Tamale Pie? Except the original used cooked corn
meal then morphed to corn muffin mix and now apparently corn bread.

In that case, I could probably use pre-prepared Masa. That is available
at the grossery store.

I remember long ago making a recipe you posted--a casserole with
cornbread crust, ground beef, corn, black beans and spices.
You called it tamale or taco pie or similar.

Would you post it to rfc again, please? I think we're ready.

After reading this, I was thinking about making Tamale Pie. I'll make it
with cornmeal. All of the recipes for it that I remember have you cook the
cornmeal immediately before preparing the dish. The mush is then either
poured under or over or both. I wonder how it would be if the mush was
poured into the pan and allowed to sit and set up and then the rest of the
dish prepared over the top.

It's been too many years since I made Tamale Pie; I'd have to dig up my
father-unit's recipe and check to be able to discuss it with you.

Looking at the different recipes on Da 'Net, there seems to be a lot of them
containing "corn" and other assorted crap that wasn't in my father-unit's
recipe. The one-pot chili casserole didn't have corn but did use tomatoes
indirectly (salsa) so that might be a "yes" after all. It would be much
simpler than attempting to find his recipe.

I hate really sweet cornbread, even though I am a Massachusetts
native. In fact, I recently discovered a take-out establishment
that I really like, and I have been going through their offerings.
I must say that my muffins are all better than theirs--and their
sweet cakelike corn muffin didn't appeal to me at all. In fact, I
will be making corn bread or muffins soon as therapy.

I tend to look at a recipe in the broadest sense. Yes, tamale pie usually
has corn in it. In your chili casserole recipe, in my view, the corn has
been replaced by beans. Nothing good or bad about either. It just
entertains me to see the roots of a recipe or to see diverse cultures rely
on what is essentially the same dish. Actually, once you understand the
underpinnings of the base idea, only your pantry limits how you put a dish
together. (End of lecture.;o))
