Chicken Tamale Pie

IMG_7831

I have another really good weeknight meal to share with you today! So good in fact that I only took a picture of the dish before we cut into it. Once we sliced up the pie and ate our portions...the leftovers didn't stand a chance. We ate THE. WHOLE. THING. I'm beginning to wonder about us. It's like we've never seen food. All the sudden we just can't help but eat everything in front of us. Call it the winter blues, comfort food, boredom...whatever - we will need to go on a diet before hitting the beach. OK, maybe its not that bad. Let's just call it more of a testament to how good the dishes have been.

I'm typically not a fan of red enchilada sauce and only recently became somewhat of a fan of tamales, but this meal was so good! The cornbread mixture makes the perfect base for the enchilada sauce to seep into. Seasoned chicken is piled on top and then a healthy layer of cheese is added to create a gooey delicious tex-mex meal.

  2. i'd eliminate commercial ready made stuff, i.e. jiffy, from my recipe, it could be done with any cornbread recipe
