Easy Tamale Casserole Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Easy Tamale Casserole Recipe). My mom liked to make the Hamburger Helper® version of this recipe. When I moved to another state, I could not find it, so I came up with this. Memories of home. My hubby likes for me to spice this up sometimes, so I will use a 14-ounce can of tomatoes and green chiles in it or just use a Mexican-style cornbread mix sometimes.
