I have several recipes similar to this one. Each is a little different. Most call for corn meal. This recipe uses biscuit mix instead. It goes together quickly.

TAMALE PIE
1 pound ground beef
Two 16 ounce cans pork and beans
1/4 cup sweet relish or chow chow
1/3 cup milk
1 cup biscuit mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In medium skillet, brown ground beef, stirring to crumble. Combine with pork and beans and relish. Pour into buttered 9 inch square baking pan. Combine biscuits and milk. Spoon over ground beef mixture and sprinkle with cheese. Bake in preheated 350 F. oven for 45 minutes. Serves 4.
