Chili Tamale Casserole image

The combination of chilies and chocolate in this casserole from Ralph Stamm of Dayton, Ohio is a good match for the spicy chocolate cinnamon cane sugar. Just a little bit goes a long way to enhance the flavors of his original recipe. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

I added some extra chili powder and cumin to the chili mixture and it gave it a really nice flavor.

This casserole was a little too spicy for my kids, but I loved it. Next time I'll use less chili powder.

I used a can of black beans instead of pinto beans and it was still delicious.
