Crock Pot Tamale Pie
This Crock Pot Tamale Pie recipe is the 28th crock pot recipe I have shared this year. I can't believe it!
You know I always talk about how I share more chicken recipes than any other type of recipe. I love chicken and do share many chicken recipes. My next favorite food is Mexican food. If you love Tamales then you are going to love this Crock Pot Tamale Pie recipe.
It has all the flavors of Tamales and then some. I spiced it up a bit with a can of original Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies. The Ro*Tel diced tomatoes with green chilies adds just enough heat to the recipe but not too much. If you like your Mexican food spicier than that you could use the Ro*Tel diced tomatoes with Habaneros.
