Okay, I’m not God, but I tell my kids that I am. Does that count? And this recipe was good!
Recipe Winner #2: Marcy’s Crockpot Tamale Casserole! 
Marcy’s Crockpot Tamale Casserole
2-15 oz cans chili without beans (Marcy says she uses turkey chili), 1-15 oz can whole kernel corn, drained, 1 cup chopped onion, 2-15 oz cans tamales, 3 cups Chili Cheese Fritos (basically the whole bag except for, um, the ones you eat while you are fixing it, NOT THAT I DID THAT OR ANYTHING), 1-8 oz bag (or two cups) shredded cheddar cheese.
1. Place chili, corn and onion in a large bowl. Mix well.
2. Unwrap tamales. Discard shucks. Don’t worry if they break. (Marcy says she cuts them into 4 pieces anyway and I did, too).
3. Layer ingredients in slow cooker in this order:
1/3 of the tamales
1/3 of the chili mixture
1/3 of the chips
1/3 of the cheese
Repeat layers twice more, making 3 layers.
4. Cook 6 hours on Low or 3 1/2 hours on High.
This was great!!! Who’s gonna try it?

Catslady, the tamales come in a can–they were next to the canned chili in the Wal-Mart where I bought them. The shucks are a sort of skin covering on them and they just unroll/unwrap really easily. I think this recipe could easily be made just in a pan and put in the oven!

Another winner!! I can’t wait to try it. Do any of these recipes freeze well? I could make and portion out and freeze. That way, I wouldn’t waste any of it. Your son looks as if he is enjoying his dinner. Cute kid. Hugs.:wave:

I made this recipe tonight– it looked too good to pass up. And it WAS good. We had leftovers, since it’s just the two of us, so I divvied up the casserole into lunch-sized portions and put it in the freezer. It kinda reminds me of Frito Pie.:grin:

Okay, you guys, I’m a Texan and I have NEVER seen tamales in a can. Problem is, they’re hard to find if it’s not Christmas time. This does sound really good, though.
