There is no one definitive recipe for tamale pie, but the dish typically consists of a cornmeal or masa dough base, with a filling of meat (usually beef) and/or beans, and a variety of other ingredients including cheese, vegetables, and spices. The pie is then baked in an oven or stovetop until the dough is cooked through and the filling is hot and bubbly.
