How Do You Make Low Carb Tamale Pie?
This is a recipe I came up with in order to have Mexican style food on a low carbohydrate diet.

Mix in Rotel tomatoes, water, cornmeal, and taco seasoning. Cook 5-10 minutes more on low until moisture absorbed. Pour mix into a casserole dish (approximately 9 x 9) leaving a small ditch around the edges of the meat mixture. Beat the egg and then pour it around the sides of the dish.

If desired, a dollop of sour cream can be placed on top of individua
