This recipe is a keeper -- really great-tasting and so easy to make. I did use one extra can of tamales and added a little hot sauce. Everyone in the family loved it. You have a great recipe here!

Very hearty and filling. The flavor was so good! Next time I make it I'll add an extra can of tamales to make more servings, since it only made us 3. Fit a 11x7inch dish and only took a total of 30 minutes to bake. Thanks for posting this!
