Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 premade tamales (Pork, Beef or Chicken)
3 Tablespoons chili powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
32 ounce beef stock ((or 4 cups))
6 ounce tomato paste
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cups freshly grated cheese ((I use Colby Jack))
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro ((give or take more or less))
Cotija cheese crumbles for garnish ((optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Tamale sauce:In a medium pot fully combine chili powder, vegetable oil and flour and whisk until smooth over medium heat.Add beef stock, tomato paste and spices and continue stirring over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
  • Making the Casserole:Place about 1 cup of the tamale sauce in a 9×13 baking pan. I use this baking pan as I like that is has easy grab handles. Remove corn husks from tamales and discard. Place tamales in the baking pan. I ended up using eleven tamales and saved the last one for a snack by itself. Wink Wink.Pour remaining sauce on top of tamales. It may look like too much sauce but it will be just perfect!Cover evenly with freshly grated cheese and sprinkle with green onions and cilantro.
  • Bake:Bake for 35 minutes or until cheese has completely melted. Carefully remove from the oven and serve immediately. Sprinkle with cotija cheese if desired. Refrigerate any leftovers.

My mom liked to make the Hamburger Helper® version of this recipe. When I moved to another state, I could not find it, so I came up with this. Memories of home. My hubby likes for me to spice this up sometimes, so I will use a 14-ounce can of tomatoes and green chiles in it or just use a Mexican-style cornbread mix sometimes.
