Can someone please print off the recipe for the Beef Tamale Bake from the It's Good for You cookbook. That is what my host for tomorrow night wants, and unfortunately SHE has my cookbook. It's not on Joyce's Place, either...
thanks in advance.

1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup hot water
2 egg whites
3 Tlbs 70% vegetable oil spread, melted
1/2 lb 95% lean ground beef
1 (16 oz) jar thick and chunky salsa
1 (15 1/2 oz) can red beans, drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 1/2 tsp chili powder

2. Place ground beef in Large (10 inch) Skillet. Cook over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking beef into crumbles; drain, if necessary.

Spoon beef mixture evenly over batter to within 1/2 inch of edge of baker. Bake 20-23 minutes or until crust is set. Remove from oven; sprinkle with cheese. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut into wedges.
