How To Make tuesday tamale pie

• 
  1

  Use the directions on the bag for water to masa ratio. You want enough paste for a thin crust patted into a greased 13x9 casserole. I add a pinch or two of salt to the mix, too.
• 
  2

  Brown ground beef. Add seasonings per taco mix packet reducing the water by half. Stir in on can of enchilada sauce. Remove from heat.
• 
  3

  Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of crust. I use both cheddar and cotija but you can use a Mexican blend if you prefer. There's no wrong cheese!
• 
  4

  Pour on beans and corn.
• 5

  Layer meat on top of beans and corn.
• 6

  Top by pouring the queso over the meat layer (yes... this is really cheesy!) Go as hot as you and your family likes. You can even add a jalapeno layer if you want.
• 
  7

  Top off with a generous amount of crushed tortilla chips.
•

  Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until browned and bubbling.
