I'm allergic to corn. Is there a way to make this casserole without cornmeal?

This recipe reminds me of my childhood. My mom used to make tamale casserole all the time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my casserole turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overcooked it.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not a huge fan of tamales, but this casserole was really good. The flavors were well-balanced and the casserole was very moist.

This casserole was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I will use less chili powder.

I followed the recipe exactly and the casserole turned out perfectly. It was moist and flavorful, and the chicken was tender and juicy. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This tamale casserole was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and had all the flavors of traditional tamales, but in a more convenient casserole form. I will definitely be making this again.
