this is something like my grandma made

I just love Tamale pie. I added a half cup of whole olives to the beef mix and 1/3 cup of corn to the corn bread. It turned out amazing and alot like how I remember. I think there were crushed tomatos in my GM's and I might try that next time. Its always important to add s/p to taste to the beef after its browned. TASTE AS YOU COOK. YUM YUM.

Excellent Tex Mex dish for our cafeteria!

Recipe was very easy, which I added a can of Rotel's diced tomatoes with green chilis. I made it for our college cafeteria and it went over as a huge success, the students ask to have it back for another day!

Shortcut Tamale Pie

For quick and easy it's at the top. A Hint or two: use an iron skillet they go right from the stove top to the oven (Only one pan to clean.). Use "Mexi-Corn" vs whole kernel and definitely have some extra Pace in a bowl beside some grated cheese for an added topping when it comes out of the oven and before serving. Yum Yum. Might want to make a double batch this is good !

Shortcut Tamale Pie

I've made this recipe and have to say that my whole family (yes even my 3 year old) loved it !! It's a nice change from meat and potatoes.
