1930's Canadian Tamale Pie Recipe - Old Cookbook Show - Glen & Friends Cooking

1930's Canadian Tamale Pie Recipe. Welcome Friends! Today on the Old Cookbook Show, we are going to make a 1930's Depression era Canadian version of a Tamale Pie Recipe. Tamale Pie probably wasn't something that a lot of Canadians were eating in the 1930's - so this Tamale Pie Recipe was a bit of an exotic anomaly in this cookbook.

Ingredients:
1½ cups cornmeal
1½ tsp salt
2 cups cold water
4 cups boiling water
1 ounce suet
1 onion, chopped
1 pound ground beef or pork
1 cup canned tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste


Method:
Preheat oven to 350ºF
Mix cornmeal, salt, and cold water; add boiling water.
Stir well and cook in a double boiler for 1 hour.
Render suet, and cook onion until it browns.
Then add meat and brown it, add tomatoes and cook 5 minutes.
Add salt, pepper and cayenne to taste.
In a greased casserole, add an inch layer of cornmeal.
Add the meat in a layer, and then a final layer of cornmeal.
Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove cover and brown.
