Tamale Pie
Perfect for a crowd, this tamale pie gets a lively kick from chili powder and serrano chilies, which are small, slender and very hot. The compound that gives chilies their heat, known as capsaicin, is concentrated in the white membranes, or ribs, inside the chili and is transferred to the seeds. To lessen the heat, trim off the membrane and scrape away the seeds.

Great casserole
May 9, 2012
This was awesome! I used shredded rotisserie chicken instead of beef and used Marie Callender cornbread.
It is even better reheated the next day
Pros: Easy, Appearance, Adaptable, Will Make Again

Great comfort food
February 14, 2012
This is a delicious version of tamale pie. Based on the other reviews, I cut the quantities down to 1/3 of those specified in the original recipe, and it still filled up a 9x13 casserole dish, fed my family of 5, and had some left-over. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and added a can each of pinto beans and sliced olives. Will definitely make again!
Pros: Easy, Kid-Friendly, Adaptable, Will Make Again

So good. My husband had to lay on the floor to rest his tummy after this one! Even halved it's a huge recipe - but it would be so super great for a big group!

Awesome Recipe
June 24, 2010
Awesome Recipe. Saves well. It does tend to make a lot more than just two or three people need, but not way too much.

Half this recipe!
May 26, 2010
I don't know how you could possibly make this recipe as is! I half the recipe and its still huge!! I use shredded beef instead of ground beef and it works great. For the cornbread, I just follow the instructions on the can of cornmeal and add a little extra milk so that it spreads easier. I serve with sour cream, cheese, and jalapenos and it is a hit every time I make it. Love, love, love this recipe!

Perfect for a crowd
May 15, 2010
This is a great option when you are feeding a crowd. Most of it can be assembled ahead of time and finished up just before cooking. It has wonderful flavor and the sweetness of the cornbread is a great balance to the spiced meat mixture. Always a crowd pleaser!

Easy to make

I am a personal chef and I make this for my clients all the time. I do two boxes of cornbread mix just to make sure everyone gets the good stuff. Love it!!!!
