Directions
Tasty Tamale Pie – Casserole, This recipe is from our grammar school cookbook Thank you Kathy G! My DH made this and I was truly impressed This can be made as mild or as spicy as you like Choose your salsa, cheese & amount of jalapeno according to your taste Olives are optional I also like to make the salsa smoother in the food processor to make it more kid friendly (no pieces!) I have used both condensed and regular whole milk with success, also combined bottled and fresh salsa , Just finished making and eating this I am feeding a horde so modified it slightly to accommodate not havng quite enough to double the recipe, and mostly all that entailed was adding a can of refried beans to the meat mix Left out the jalapeos I also used my own taco seasoning, recipe available on garden-of-eatin com So in actuality, I made it almost exactly as written, and it’s a solid 5 star Definitely use a good salsa, a poor one would make the difference in a recipe like this!, Used my own taco seasoning (see at garden-of-eatin com), added refined beans to meat mixture
