Spicy Tamale Pie Casserole
Liz / Made this for my 2 1/2 year old and he actually ate it I ended up hinvalg the recipe, using dark turkey meat and topping it with black forest bacon. I did use one of those meatloaf pans that drain the fat away so I cooked it for 1 hour at 350 and it came out perfect. So excited to have another food to add to our dinners. Thank you!
