Mexican Tamale Pie image

Easy way to make Tamales (or close to them). Good flavor. If you don't like the corn grit flavor go completely away from the Mexican version and use Bis-Quick on top. This would not be a tamale but some people may prefer it!

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would use less chili peppers next time.

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

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the ground beef for black beans. It turned out great!
