Tamale Casserole

Thanks JoAnne for sharing this quick and easy recipe! Party guests were asked if this recipe was good enough for the blog! Hands down - YES! Yummm!

Ingredients


1 jar (13-1/2 ounces) tamales (or two cans - unwrap tamales)
1 can (15 ounces) chili with beans
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups corn chips, coarsely crushed, divided
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese (guests recommended more cheese!)
1 to 2 ounces sliced cheddar cheese (Kraft American cheese is great also)

Directions

Cut tamales into 3/4-in. slices. Place in your 8 x 8 Stoneware Baker. Top with half of the chili and onion. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup corn chips and shredded cheese. Top with remaining chili and onion.

Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining corn chips. Arrange cheese slices over top. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until chips are crisp and cheese is melted. Yield: 3-4 servings. **Top with sour cream and/or sliced jalapenos if desired.
