Tamale Pie

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.

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 Chris Gan -
