To assemble Tamale Pie, pour the chili mixture into the bottom of a 13-inch by 9-inch by 2-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with Nonstick Cooking Spray (as needed). Sprinkle Cheddar Cheese (1 1/2 cup) evenly over top of chili.

Spoon cornbread batter over the top and smooth toward all edges. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until brown and bubbly, about 15 to 20 minutes.
