Wonderful casserole, thanks. I will definitely make again:) Used a little taco seasoning and black beans because I didn't have enough corn and peppers!

I doubled this recipe and made a few changes. I eliminated a cup of corn and added 1 can of black beans. I also added one can of chopped green chiles with the green pepper. In our family, if we like a new recipe, we say its a "Keeper" we voted this one a keeper.

This is a keeper. I added a can of green chilis and 1 tsp of menudo Mexican spice mix. People asked for the recipe. Will definitely make again.

Three different Tamale Pie recipes were cooked this evening and this was the best. In addition to great flavors in the meat mixture, the cornbread topping (with egg and cheese in it) was wonderful. Nice presentation on a bed of greens. Changes = shredded pork was used instead of hamburger along with fresh Cilantro, fresh Oregano, and pressed garlic clove. Salt was omitted and not missed because other ingredients (cheese, canned goods) have an abundance of salt.
