TASTY TAMALE PIE - CASSEROLE
This recipe is from our grammar school cookbook. Thank you Kathy G! My DH made this and I was truly impressed. This can be made as mild or as spicy as you like. Choose your salsa, cheese & amount of jalapeno according to your taste. Olives are optional. I also like to make the salsa smoother in the food processor to make it more kid friendly (no pieces!). I have used both condensed and regular whole milk with success, also combined bottled and fresh salsa.

MOM'S TAMALE PIE
From Albers Corn Meal carton 1960's, plus 4 new ingredients marked "optional". A true steamed corn mush with chili powder, no eggs. Important: Use California chili powder (instead of New Mexico) for a milder flavor. I actually use only one pound ground beef. Family Note: This is Mom-Mom's recipe exactly, except the "optional" ingredients.
