Tamale Pie With Cornmeal Cheese Crust image

I got this recipe from a Healthy Choice recipe booklet. Every single time I made this pie, somebody ask me for the recipe. The original recipe asks for everything fat free and egg substitute instead of regular eggs. I post it the way I normally make it.

This tamale pie was a huge hit with my family. The cornmeal cheese crust was a nice change from the traditional cornbread crust, and it added a delicious crunch.
