Tamale Pie- Its Whats for Dinner

 Being a member of the Band Booster and a local church pot luck is a big part of my life. The problem with pot luck is having stuff on hand that you can whip up easily. The Tamale pie is super easy and mostly comes from my pantry.

So here goes:

You will need
1 pound of ground turkey ( you can use a vegitarian alternative or beef depending on what your family perfers.)

29 oz can of Hominy
16 oz can of tomato sauce
15 oz can of black beans
10 oz can of Rotel (use the mild, medium or hot again as your family perfers)
2 or more cups of sharp cheddar cheese ( we really like cheese so I use A LOT)
36 ct of the 6 in corn tortillas
Black Olives ( as much as you like I use a can of whole and chop them myself)

Optional
cayanne pepper
jalapenos

Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees  Farenheight


Brown the  meat in a large skillet. Once the meat is done add the hominy, tomato sauce, black beans, Rotel
and black olives ( chopped)

Optional add cayenne pepper to taste.













 Turn on medium and let simmer while you oil a 9X13 glass dish and lay out the bottom layer of tortillas.












Once you have the first layer of tortillas in place remove the mixture from the stove and pour about half into
the glass dish. level it out, cover with cheese.







Cover the cheese layer with another layer of tortillas. Pour the rest of the mixture into the glass dish on top of the tortillas. cover with cheese and another layer of tortillas.

Cover with cheese and olives. Optional also can garnish with jalapenos. 

Place in preheated oven for 25 minutes




ENJOY!
