Layered Tamale Pie image

I originally got this recipe from my Great Grandma Ce. But I came up with the layered idea. Originally there were no corn tortillas, and it was more like a sort of meat loaf pie. This recipe is interesting, very tasty, and kid-friendly too!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tamale pie didn't turn out as good as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This tamale pie was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.
