Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Mmmm, my favorite also! I usually make mine with ground turkey and I like to add some black beans. Even my BF who doesn’t like cornmeal scarfs this up!
Thanks for all your great recipies. Do you have a recipe for tamale pie for dairy intolerance?
Glad you’re enjoying our recipes! Some Cashew cream or pureed silken tofu can be used in place of the sour cream. Use dairy free cheese, or just omit it completely. Have a great day 🙂
What side dishes go with Tamale pie we will make this to day it looks good

A simple salad with a light vinaigrette would pair nicely with this hearty main course.
