Too spicy so going to dodge the chili stuff next time around other than that it was delicious.
Corn muffin mix isn't in any shops i live by what can i replace it with?
I didn't used canned creamed corn used normal corn on a cob and shaved it off to make it taste more fresh.
Way too spicy for me but I did like the taste quite a bit so no issue here really.
Accidently used sunflower oil instead of olive oil but thankfully the taste wasn't that different.
I emptied out the entire sourcream container into this.
Being healthy is hard when you find delicious things like this, looks like i'll be getting fat LOL.
Another brilliant thing to make from my all time favorite chief, Jeff!
Really big crowd pleaser it was absolutely delicious for sure!
Can't get enough of this savory pie it's the freaking bomb!!
Made this for lunch and enjoyed every bite.
Swapped out ground beef for pork, perfect lunch or dinner for anytime of the week.
Hubby and I wanted to try some Mexican food out today cause we are both Puerto rican and wanted to see if there was much of a difference, turns out there really isn't this was super good.
Tasty though i'm not too pleased with the way it looks sadly, I think it could look a lot better than old cheese and meat.
My kids were chugging their milk after this tamale pie but they didn't complain ahaha.
Made these with some sweet platinos on the side too.
Didn't have monterey jack cheese so used good ole moldy cheese freshly bought and it was yummy.
Loved every bite of it amazing and affordable exactly what I was looking for today :)
Good but I think this should be placed under Mexican and not half American cause it really is our traditional dish.
Fantastic recipe thanks for sharing it with us.
Well done! Verified!
