I've been looking for a Mexican tamale loaf which I made back in the 50s'. And this one works. In one bowl put the described cooked vegetables and slightly cooked hamburger, along with the tomato sauce, and half the spices, including half the taco sauce. This set aside, In a large pot put 2 cups water , one half the spices, one half the taco sauce and about 1/4th C oil, bring to a boil, and add the corn meal, mixed with a little cold water, add slowly, stirring constantly, so it doesn't lump.
when mixture gets very thick, remove from heat and beat in the eggs one at the time, making sure they are well mixed. taste and adjust seasonings. Grease a 2 quart casserole well, and line it with about 2/3rds your cornmeal mix. Put your veg mix into the casserole, adding some of the cornmeal mix if it seems too runny. The remaining corn meal mix you can drop by spoonfuls on top, or use spatula to spread it for a full crust. Since everything is about half cooked already, it only takes about 30 minutes oven time, at 350* I am thrilled to finally find this recipe again.
