I love tamales and their combination of crumbly, sweet masa and savory meat filling but since they are kind of a project to undertake at home, i dont make them often. But thats where the tamale pie comes in This easy cheesy version gives you the same soft corn base and hearty meat filling in a bake that takes just thirty minutes in the oven (and is a little saucier and cheesier experience to boot). Its an easy and comforting dinner that the whole family is always happy about.
