Green Corn Tamale Casserole image

This recipe was posted from a restaurant in Tucson, Arizona. There are no tamales in the dish, but it does incorporate a cornmeal-type polenta with cheese, canned mild green chilies, corn and eggs. Sounds like it would be a great brunch item.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this casserole was inedible. I'm very disappointed.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole didn't turn out right. It was too dry and the cornbread topping was too crumbly.

This casserole was a lot of work to make, and I don't think it was worth it. The flavor was just okay.

I found this casserole to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less green chiles next time.
