Tamale Pie

I follow Living Locurto's Blog and she posted this tasty recipe called, "Tamale Pie." You can make this spicy, or add different toppings, and it takes less than an hour to prepare/cook. We love Mexican food and I try to make a Mexican dish at least once a week, and this recipe left lots of leftovers!
