This is a perfect meal for a chilly evening. If you have enough leftover chili this would work with it also. Just add the toppings.

This is a dish my mother used to make often. Loved it. When I joined the Navy I was surprised to find that this is a long time Navy recipe. She learned it from her father who was a cook in the navy during WWII. I still make this often and think of my mother every time.

I love tamales but have never tried tamale pie, I am tweaking a recipe my aunt gave me.

I was kinda leery about making this tonight but it was a hit!!! If you dont like jiffy cornbread mix because it is a little sweet i was very surprised that you didnt really taste that sweetness.Give it a try!!!!!

Enjoy the flavors of poblano, Chipotle, and Jalepeno in this delicious tamale pie

This casserole can be prepared pretty quickly and is fairly customizable. You can dial the spice level up or down, select your favorite ground meat and cheese, and omit or substitute some ingredients (e.g. if you don’t like olives, maybe try adding a little extra corn or bell pepper).Since my three year old doesn’t like spice, I had to make a non-spicy version, but I would have liked to throw some green chiles in! 🥵 🌶 💕. Maybe next time… Modified from Valerie’s Kitchen
