Mexican Tamale Pie image

Easy way to make Tamales (or close to them). Good flavor. If you don't like the corn grit flavor go completely away from the Mexican version and use Bis-Quick on top. This would not be a tamale but some people may prefer it!

I'm not a big fan of cornbread, but I loved the cornbread crust in this pie. It was crispy and flavorful.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The cornbread crust was dry and the filling was bland. I won't be making it again.

This recipe was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the amount of chili powder next time.

I'm not usually a fan of tamales, but this pie changed my mind. The cornbread crust was crispy and flavorful, and the filling was moist and savory.

This tamale pie was an absolute hit with my family! The combination of flavors was perfect, from the sweet corn to the spicy chili. The cornbread crust was a nice touch, too.
