Tamale Casserole


This isn't necessarily for your picky eater, but you'll enjoy it! I personally loved it as a kid.. Emma, not so much. I got this recipe from my mom.. not sure where it comes from beyond that. I made it for my girl friends and they wanted to try it with sour cream, and I say it tastes great with or without. It is so easy to make, and great for potlucks.

Ingredients
4 large Tamales *never tried it with fresh, I use the frozen Baja Cafe Tamales, and I use all of them because they're small. If you use those, be sure to thaw them first.
1 Large can of red beans *I use 2 normal size cans of Chile Beans (without the chile)
1 Large can of chile w/out beans *Once again, I use 2 normal size cans
1 can red enchilada sauce
2 cans sliced black olives
grated cheese


Directions 
Put ingredients in a large baking pot, in order listed. Bake at 350 degrees (fahrenheit) for 45 minutes covered and then 45 minutes uncovered.  That's it!!


I always add more cheese at the end because it all sorta melts into the center. This makes a lot, but leftovers taste just as good. Enjoy!
