This weeks recipe is Keto Tamala Pie, it’s a Keto take on a classic Tex Mex dish.  We absolutely loved this recipe and we are sure your family will as well.

Tamale pie is a pie and casserole dish in the cuisine of the southwest, or Tex-Mex style. It is prepared with a cornmeal or masa crust and ingredients typically used in tamales. It has been described as a comfort food, and is generally carb heavy, but we have lightened it using low carb ingredients..

 The dish, invented sometime in the early 1900s in the United States, may have originated in Texas, and its first known published recipe dates to 1911.

The dish became very popular around the time of the world war, because it utilized cornmeal, and thus saved on the cost of wheat. It was a favorite dish taught in home economics classes in U.S. high schools for many decades afterwards.

My mother married young, and didn’t have much cooking experience, and had in fact, never had an avocado, until she married my Dad…..somehow this   Dish became a staple in our house growing up, and I knew I wanted to create it to fit in to my low carb lifestyle. CJ likes it plain, but I prefer it with sour cream, and a sprinkle of cheese. We hope you enjoy this comfort casserole.

 

Information On Black Soy Beans:

Here’s a good blog post about Black Soy beans.  We probably make chili once a year using the recipe we have on our channel.  Black Soy Beans can be tough to find we use to buy them from Whole Foods Market, and now get them from another health food/organic/whole foods type market called Marlene’s.

 

The base of our corn bread recipe came from the folks over at the channel Keto Connect.  Sarah’s sister had used their recipe in the past and it was easy to make.

    I love this recipe. I just made this with ground chicken instead of beef and added the black soy beans. It was delicious. Thanks for a great recipe.

    1. Actually we just hadn’t had time to respond to you. Try using full fat plain yogurt to replace the sour cream.
