Directions: |
Directions:Add your butter or oil to a deep sided skillet. Add your diced onions and green pepper. Sauté until the veggies are soft and tender.
Add your ground beef. Cook thoroughly. I like to use a ground meat chopper to make sure the beef is in a fine crumble.
Season your beef and veggie mixture. I start with about a 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic and onion powder, 1/4 of the cumin and black pepper. I recommend you season a little at a time and taste to see what you like. I also added a dash of salt.
Add your canned tomatoes, do not drain. Bring to a simmer and let simmer, for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
Add your jar of heinz chili sauce, I also added a little water to the jar to get the rest of the sauce out. Give it a good shake and add to the pot.
Stir this all and let it simmer low and slow for 25 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Open your can of tamales, each tamale is individually wrapped in paper, unwrap them. After 15 of the 25 minutes if the beef mixture simmering, add the tamales
carefully as well as the chili sauce from the can. Stir carefully and let this all simmer for the remainder of the 25 minutes.
Top with the cheddar cheese, place the lid on, turn off the heat and let this sit for 10 minutes before serving. I added dried parsley for garnish.
You can top each bowl with sour cream, more cheese, avocado, fritos chip and or onions if you choose. |
