Vegetarian Tamale Pie

2 sweet potatoes
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic
1 bell pepper
1 can black beans
1/2 can corm
1 can diced tomato
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp.+ chili powder
garlic salt

1. Prepare the topping: Use Maryann/Marcia's corn pudding recipe. Place parchment paper in 9x13" baking pan and bake the corn bread for 20 minutes or until thoroughly baked. Remove from pan to cool.
2. Dice the sweet potatoes and bake until soft or fry in frying pan.
In separate pan with olive oil, saute onions, minced garlic, and bell pepper. Add remaining ingredients and sweet potatoes, and stew for a few minutes. Place mixture in the 9x13" baking pan. Carefully slide corn bread on top of the mixture. Place in fridge until ready to eat.
3. To re-heat, place in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

For vegans, use 1/4 cup bean juice instead of egg in the corn pudding/bread.
