This tamale pie was a great way to use up some leftover tamales. It was easy to make and tasted delicious. I will definitely make it again.

This is the best tamale pie recipe I've ever tried! The flavors are amazing and the crust is so flaky. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I'm not sure what happened, but my tamale pie turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This is my go-to recipe for tamale pie. It's always a crowd-pleaser and I love that I can make it ahead of time and reheat it when I'm ready to serve.

This tamale pie was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use mild chili peppers instead of hot ones.

I love this tamale pie! It's so easy to make and always turns out perfectly. I like to add a layer of cheese to the top before baking it. So good!

This recipe was a disaster. The instructions were unclear and the result was a soggy, flavorless mess. Very disappointed.

Not sure what went wrong, but my tamale pie turned out dry and crumbly. Maybe I used the wrong kind of flour?

This tamale pie was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it turned out better, but still not as good as I hoped.
