A very satisfying dish. Tasted good and was very easy to put together. Followed it to a tee except added a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat. Will make this again. Thanks Chef #223316. -
I made the recipe as written -- I wish I had added something spicy to it (like used Rotel tomatoes instead of plain ones, or tossed in some green chilis)... the "pie" was bland. Also, it had kind of a strange consistency (like mush?). I smothered my piece with salsa, and it was much better. At first, I thought this was okay, but as I kept eating it, I realized how much I really didn't enjoy this tamale pie. I tossed the leftovers and won't make this again.
