Kim is honestly one of the coolest women I’ve ever known. She has a positive attitude that nothing seems to touch, and is always conjuring up some new way to help those around her.  In fact, she just wrapped up her annual Zumbathon to benefit the Susan G. Komen Fountation.  Oh, and she also sells homes, runs gratitude workshops, and knits!  Check her out. You will be glad you did.

Ghetto Pie

By Kim Jenkins

One of my family’s favorite thing to eat is a little embarrassing..I always call it ghetto pie, but I think my mother called it Tamale Pie. Whether Ghetto or Tamale, the kids LOVE IT….so whatever works and gets them eating, right?

It’s a combination of ground beef (I use the better quality), tomato sauce, canned corn, olives & cheddar cheese.

That’s it. Seriously.

I brown the meat, mix in a few cans of tomato sauce (you want it to be a little runny or juicy), add some salt, pepper and garlic to taste, then mix in the corn and olives.

It’s also really good after you mix it all together to throw it in the oven at 325 and bake it maybe for 20-25 minutes with some melted cheese on top.

Easy. Economical. Kids love it.

Serve with cornbread and yummmm yummmm….it’s dinnertime!

  2. Sounds good! I make one very similar but put the cornbread batter on top and bake it. It’s from an old B&O Railroad Dinning Car Recipe Book of my hubby’s
    (he’s a B&O RR FAN). It’s easy and a fave of his. The B&O original is called “CORNBREAD PIE” and it was one of their best selling meals on the trains for men, women and children.
