I got this recipe from my mother, who loved quick and easy meals for dinner. I made a few variations by adding spinach, bell peppers and fresh corn. The changes were well worth it--my family and friends love this dish!-Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tamale pie turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.
