Print: Easy Tamale Casserole

This tamale casserole gives me memories of home. 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. My hubby likes for me to spice this up sometimes, so I will add a 14-ounce can of tomatoes and green chiles or use a Mexican-style cornbread mix.
