My mom always made casseroles for dinner and I was never a fan. I’m pretty sure it was the mush factor. When I started cooking for myself I realized casseroles were pretty good if you got the ratio of ingredients just right.
Embracing this new found love of casseroles I decided to revisit a childhood memory of my mom making Tamale Pie for dinner. Basically it’s the flavors tamales (a family favorite) in a casserole.
I switched up the old recipe by putting the cornbread on the bottom to serve as a crust, with a meaty filling and a topping of crunchy corn chips. Suddenly all the memorable flavors of my youth came flowing back and now casseroles and I are the best of friends.
