Tamale Pie

 My Mother-in-law and Father-in-law and I were looking through cookbooks and one had tamales in it.  Someone mentioned that it had been a long time since having a tamale pie.  When dinner rolled around - that seemed like the perfect thing to make.  Betty found this Betty Crocker recipe online that seemed just like the one she remembers making it the past.  It was really good.
