The ingredients for Tamale Pie WW friendly are:

1 cup yellow corn meal
2 1/4 cup cold water with added chicken bouillon
1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion chopped
1 large green pepper chopped
4 teaspoons canola oil
3 teaspoons chili powder
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
6 ounces Tomato paste (6 oz) tomato paste
10 ounces Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes (Mild) or HOT, if you like that
10 ounces Corn kernels canned with juice
16 ounces Kidney beans
1 cup light cheese

Here is how you make Tamale Pie WW friendly:

Preheat oven to 350?. Combine cornmeal, water and chicken bouillon in a medium saucepan; whisk or stir constantly over medium heat until slightly thickened. Spread in a 9 X 13-inch baking pan, sprayed with no-stick cooking spray. Set aside. After putting the polenta in the pan, I bake it for about 10-15 minutes to make it a little crusty. It keeps everything from sogging together. In a large skillet, brown beef, onion, green pepper, and canola oil. Add chili powder, garlic, salt and pepper, and stir well. Add tomato paste, Ro-Tel, corn, and kidney beans, and mix well. Spread mixture evenly over the cornbread mixture and top with 1 cup shredded soy or fat free cheddar cheese. (Or use real cheese and count the points.) Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees. Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KEWILEY.
