I'm not a big fan of tamales, but I really enjoyed this pie. The cornbread crust was a nice change of pace.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat vegetables. My kids loved the tamale pie and didn't even realize they were eating corn and tomatoes.

I used a pre-made cornbread mix to make the crust. It saved time and the pie still turned out delicious.
