You can cook with confidence and style
My tamale pie recipe is one of those I "go to" when I am pressed for time. It is delicious but it is
very quick to put together and bake. With a little salad to accompany this casserole, everyone is
happy. Some of my restaurant guests order it with a glass of beer and their favorite hot sauce.
