Must be a 'west of the Mississippi' thing!
My mom used to make Tamale Pie when we was little:
Mom's Tamale Pie
INGREDIENTS
a.. 2 (15 ounce) cans beef tamales
b.. 2 bunches green onions, chopped
c.. 8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
d.. 3 cups crushed tortilla chips
e.. 2 (16 ounce) cans chili without beans
f.. 1 tablespoon water
DIRECTIONS
1.. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.. Unwrap tamales and cut into thick chunks. Place a portion of the
chopped tamales in the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Then layer the
onions, cheese, tortilla chips and chili without beans.
3.. Repeat this until all ingredients are used, topping off with cheese
and chips. Then sprinkle with the water.
4.. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 to 45
minutes.
