Dream Dinners: Green Chile Chicken Tamale Pie

After vacation, we finally started making our June meals. On June’s menu, I finally started seeing meals that we’ve already made before, which has cut down some on blogging for me.  However, this has also been a busy month and I am a bit behind.  With July’s meals being assembled this week, its time for me to get cracking on my June meal blogs to share some more amazing meals. First up is the delicious Green Chile Chicken Tamale Pie.  I had tried this a few times in the store as the appetizer, so I knew we were in for a treat.  This meal was different from a lot of our meals in that it was similar to a casserole, which most of Dream Dinners meals are not.  I preheated the oven and prepared my baking dish.  I spread the batter evenly in the dish and baked for about 15 minutes until the batter had formed a crust.  I used a fork to poke holes in the crust and then poured the red sauce on top.  Next, I added the seasoned chicken and cheese blend.  I baked another 15 minutes until the cheese was nice and melty.  I allowed the dish to cool for 5 minutes before serving.  This meal was very hearty and tasty.  It definitely made more than 3 servings (at least Jen sized servings!) so there was plenty for lunch the next day.  We love all things Tex-Mex, so this was a big hit in our house.  We enjoyed ours as prepared, but you could add  a dollop of sour cream if you wished.  This is definitely one of those meals that I wished I had ordered more than once.  I can’t wait to see it pop up next time!
