February is Heart Health Month, so my family and I are enjoying lightened up recipes of traditional classics. Heart disease causes 1 in every 4 deaths in the United States, so I’m constantly tweaking my recipes to make them heart healthy, but without sacrificing flavor. One of our most favorite comfort foods is Tamale Pie. The slightly sweet cornbread baked on top of this spicy bean casserole is a favorite on chilly evenings! To make this tamale pie a bit ‘extra’ I put out low-fat toppings so my family and friends can customize their tamale pie to their liking.<\/p>\n

\"Heart<\/p>\n

To lighten up my recipe, I swapped butter in the cornbread recipe with Mazola Corn Oil, reduced the cheese and used vegetarian soy crumbles versus meat.<\/p>\n

\"Heart<\/p>\n

In addition to swapping out the butter in the cornbread, I also used Mazola Corn Oil to saute my onions and bean mixture, and I also used it to grease my casserole dish.<\/p>\n

The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans no longer emphasize a \u201clow-fat\u201d diet, but rather choosing quality, \u201cgood\u201d fats. This includes replacing saturated fats that are known to contribute to heart disease with unsaturated fats, especially polyunsaturated fats, like those in Mazola Corn Oil. And, according to the USDA, corn oil has more than five times the amount of polyunsaturated fats compared to olive oil. A clinical study showed Mazola Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil. To learn more about this claim, visit Mazola.com <\/a><\/p>\n
