Crockpot Tamale Pie

(From crockpot365.blogspot.com)

Cornbread Topping:

3/4 cup cornmeal
1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 t. baking powder
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 T. oil

Filling:

1 can drained and rinsed black beans
1 can fire-roasted tomatoes
1 can drained corn
1 T chili powder
1 t. cumin
1 t. onion powder (or 1/4 cup fresh)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (like cheddar)

Spray your crockpot with Pam. Add filling ingredients and stir well.

Mix together topping in a small bowl. Pour evenly over filling.

Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or high for 2-4 (mine usually finishes in just under 4 on high).

Serve with salsa and sour cream.

*You can also add browned ground meat to this if you want to bulk it up a little. I like it the way it is though, and even my carnivorous husband enjoys it! :)
