Buddy posted a casserole he did where he said he didn't feel like making full blown tamales, so he did this.  I wanted it badly, so I tried it.  Turned out excellent.  



1 - 1-1.5lb ground beef, one onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 jalepeno, salt, and pepper.  Cook until beef is done.  







2 - Add a jar of salsa. 



3 - Making the tamale bottom and top - 2 cups masa, 4 cups boiling water, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon baking powder, chicken bullion (tablespoon).  Mix until spreadable.  Spread in a CI skilled for bottom.  Add filling, and top with remaining.  Bake 350° covered w/ aluminum foil for 45min.  Remove and let set for 30min to set well.  




4 - 



5 - Done!





Wanted to do this on the stove first.  Should couple well with the Egg.  


Thanks for looking.
