Love the topping; it's almost like cornmeal pudding because of the eggs and milk. The cheese added nice flavor too.

This casserole was delicious! I have been looking for a good Tamale Pie recipe and this one hit the spot. I used ground turkey instead of the ground beef, also I had no green pepper on hand, so I used a small can of diced Ortega green chilies which worked very well. I also added some seasonings, no salt mix from Costco, also worked out really well. Thanks!

I used Rotel tomatoes instead of stewed, gave it a nice kick. Topping didn't seem to be enough, next time I will make more. Over all great recipe.

For the topping, my mom used crushed tortilla chips or Doritos and sprinkled with cheese. It's wonderful! I also use mexicorn, cuts out having to use green pepper. I don't use olives, but kidney beans are a great addition. Also, no stewed tomatoes, just tomato sauce. Lastly, I flavor the hamburger with taco seasoning... must try!
