I snagged this recipe from my Aunt Susan and boy am I glad I did! Seriously, you guys, stop what you are doing RIGHT NOW and jot down the ingredients to make this Tamale Pie. This is my absolute favorite Mexican casserole to date and y’all KNOW how much we love us some Mexican casseroles around here!
This casserole was crazy easy and next time, I am doubling it and making it in a 13×9 pan because I know the leftovers would have been even better and we didn’t have a single bite left. 😉

***I broke my 8×8 pan last week so I had to use a pie pan, it fit (barely) but I wasn’t able to put as much cheese as I would have liked. Next time, I will use an 8×8 because Mama likes a lot of cheese
