     I use tortilla in place of the cornmeal mush. Simple and tasty. - 8/21/13

     I added pinto beans, a can of green chilies and a combo can of corn, tomatoes and okra and a package of taco seasoning. Very good. - 11/10/12

     Definitely will become a regular on my menu. While my family felt it needed more salt... I disagreed. I will probably try Rotel instead of canned diced tomatoes next time. Agree it took longer than 30 minutes for the topping to cook... may use a little less buttermilk next time. - 9/10/13

     FYI - The singular form is 'tamal' and the plural form 'tamales'. 'Tamale' doesn't exist as a proper word. - 8/21/13

     Delicious! My husband even loved it and he is not usually a fan of peppers. - 11/27/12

     Just made this, and will keep in our regular rotation from now on. Only thing I changed was I added a little diced onion and zucchini. Needed more 'heat' as we like it spicy. Increased cooking time slightly so topping was set properly. Very filling, great recipe ;) - 4/7/15

     I made this tonight. It's OK. I baked for 30 minutes but should have left it in longer because it was runny. Maybe it will be better as leftovers. I left out the cumin and jalapenos but next time, I think I'll add a little jalapeno for a *little* bit of kick. - 8/29/13

     This recipe is super delicious from the first to the last byte. I substitutes the cheese for goat cheese and since I do not buy cow milk anymore, I mixed 1/4 of flax milk with 1 T of quark cheese and to 1 T of that in the second mixture.Sooooooooooooooo Good! Will make it often. - 8/21/13

     Good recipe! I like a little more flavor; so, I'll be adding more spice next time. I added a little extra cheese, and used a whole can of beans. Only thing I did differently was cook it longer. I didn't think about tamales being soft until after I baked it to a firm cornbread. :) - 5/5/19

     I like this but would add onion next time. - 12/13/18

     Was very good! I did use Rotel Tomatoes. I did have to cook extra 10 mins, as the cornmeal was mushy. My husband enjoyed the dish. It will be on list to make again. - 4/18/16

     Looking ahead for recipes that can be used with leftover turkey. This one looks great! - 11/24/14

     I liked the recipe because it was very flavourful and filling. In addition I could easily reduce the recipe to two servings. - 11/8/14

     I am going to try this but going to remove the chicken and double up on the black beans, since my husband is allergic to chicken. Putting it on my menu plan for next week. sounds great. - 8/21/13

     I added a can of enchilada sauce to make it smoother.... I used the can tomatoes with chili peppers and no green peppers. - 5/13/21
  • ROXIE369
     The flavor was good but there was not enough dry ingredient for this to be much of a cornbread. It did not hold together at all. I will modify next time. - 2/16/21
