Among my fav casseroles is Chicken Tamale Casserole! A sweet corn pudding topping, chicken and melted cheese. The best of chicken tamales in a casserole.

Chicken Tamale Casserole

This chicken casserole tops my list of all time favorites. Imagine a thick layer of a delicious, sweet corn pudding topped with yummy chicken, a little sauce, and lots of gooey melted cheese. It’s all the best elements of chicken tamales in an easy to put together casserole. Well, can you say, “hello dinner time home-run!”  The fam doesn’t simply like this, they love it and absolutely devour it!  I usually make this with a rotisserie chicken from the market.  I love how flavorful the meat is and it cuts down my prep time significantly.  Another way to speed up the prep time is to use a Mexican blend of pre-shredded cheese.  So, all in all, this family fav is also a snap to get on the dinner table, too! Win-Win!
