Recipe Introduction


This is another one of those embarrassing recipes that you don't want to own up to making, much less INVENTING, but I think I actually did make this up! I've made it for over 20 years - since I was a poor college student. My husband says it's one of those dishes that sounds awful until you taste it, then somehow it becomes delicious! It really does taste good, even if it IS a guilty pleasure!





List of Ingredients



• 1 can of tamales, paper removed if necessary
  
• 8 oz. shredded Mexican cheese blend
  
• 1 can of chili
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven 350 degrees. In a flat casserole dish lay the tamales side by side. Sprinkle with half the cheese. Spread with the can of chili. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until cheese is bubbly.
