Mom's Tamale Pie image

I don't believe my mom ever used a recipe for her tamale pie, but I came up with this version that tastes very much like the one she used to make. It's been popular at our church gatherings and faculty luncheons...and my kids love it! -Waldine Guillott, DeQuincy, Louisiana

This tamale pie was okay, but I've had better. I probably won't be making it again.

Not a fan of this recipe. The tamale pie was too mushy and the flavors didn't blend well together.

This recipe was way too complicated. I ended up giving up and ordering pizza instead.

I followed the recipe exactly and my tamale pie turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This tamale pie was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
