How To Make tuesday tamale pie
-
1Use the directions on the bag for water to masa ratio. You want enough paste for a thin crust patted into a greased 13x9 casserole. I add a pinch or two of salt to the mix, too.
-
2Brown ground beef. Add seasonings per taco mix packet reducing the water by half. Stir in on can of enchilada sauce. Remove from heat.
-
3Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of crust. I use both cheddar and cotija but you can use a Mexican blend if you prefer. There's no wrong cheese!
-
4Pour on beans and corn.
-
5Layer meat on top of beans and corn.
-
6Top by pouring the queso over the meat layer (yes... this is really cheesy!) Go as hot as you and your family likes. You can even add a jalapeno layer if you want.
-
7Top off with a generous amount of crushed tortilla chips.
-
8Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until browned and bubbling.
