Chicken Tamale Casserole
This is another slightly adapted Cooking Light recipe. I really enoyed it, and although my husband was dubious upon seeing that can of creamed corn in a bowl, he came around when it came out of the oven. It was easy, flavorful, and tasted like the corn pudding that you get at Chevy’s.

- 1 c. Mexican blend cheese, divided
- 1/3 c. milk
- 2 eggs (or 1/3 c. egg substitute)
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
- 1 can creamed corn
- 1 (8 oz) box corn bread mix
- 2 c. cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 (4 oz.) can chopped chiles
- 1 (10 oz.) can enchilada sauce
Preheat oven to 400. Combine 1/4 c. of cheese, milk, eggs, cumin, coriander, creamed corn, and bread mix in a small bow. Spread into a 13×9 baking pan, and bake for 15 minutes. Pierce liberally with a fork, and pour enchilada sauce over cornbread. Top with chicken, and then cheese. Continue baking another 15 minutes, and remove from oven. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes before eating.
