"I love that this recipe calls for the corn muffin mix so that you don't have to wrestle around trying to find your cornbread recipe. Where the recipe calls for enchilada sauce, feel free to use your own or your favorite."

I made this for my coworkers, and they raved about it. It easily is my favorite mexican dish. The taste is amazing, and I eat with tortilla chips- with a hint of lime- along with the salsa for a heavenly end!

This is my FAVORITE Tamale pie recipe! I looked in all my cook books and couldn't find the right one. I'm so glad it was on this website! The corn bread is moist, it has great flavor, basically it's just delicious. I do use ground turkey however.

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05. My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him. I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me. We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here. I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more. Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact. I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
