About Tamale casserole
Tamale casserole is a hearty, flavorful dish inspired by traditional Mexican tamales but created in a simplified, layered form for easy preparation. This casserole typically includes a base of cornbread or masa dough topped with seasoned fillings such as spiced ground beef, shredded chicken, or sautéed vegetables, and often layered with cheese, enchilada sauce, or beans. Its vibrant flavors come from ingredients like chili powder, cumin, and garlic, common in Mexican cuisine. While tamale casserole is rich in protein from the meat and beans, and provides fiber from the cornmeal and vegetables, it can be high in calories and saturated fat depending on the cheese and meat used. Choosing lean meats, reducing cheese, or adding more vegetables can make it a healthier option, while still delivering the comforting, savory taste of a classic tamale.
