Time 7h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large onion, diced
1 16-oz jar(s) green tomatillo salsa
2 15-oz can(s) chili con carne, without beans
1 15-oz can(s) black beans, rinsed, drained
1 2-oz can(s) sliced ripe olives, drained
10 tamales (chicken or beef), wrappers or husks removed
2 7-oz can(s) whole green chilies, drained, cut into 1/2-inch strips
cheddar cheese, shredded, optional
sour cream, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Place half of the diced onions in a 4-quart electric slow cooker.
  • 2. Top with half each of the salsa, the chili, beans and olives.
  • 3. Place 4 or 5 of the tamales on top.
  • 4. Cover the tamales with half of the chili strips.
  • 5. Repeat the layers, ending with the remaining chili strips.
  • 6. Cover and cook on the low setting 6 1/2 to 7 hours.
  • 7. Pass shredded cheese and sour cream on the side.
  • 8. Tips: If you are using frozen tamales, the wrappers will be easier to remove if you microwave them for a few seconds first. Also, if using frozen tamales, increase cooking time about 1 hour.
