About this dish
Tamale pie is a pie and casserole dish associated with the cuisine of the Southwestern United States. It is adapted from the elements of the Mexican tamale, although it has never been popular in Mexican-American culture. The dish is made by lining a casserole dish with tamale dough and adding a spiced filling of meats, stews, or leftovers, sometimes with beans, salsa, or tomatoes. It is finally topped with more tamale dough and baked, sometimes with cheese on top.
