Comfort food


This is one of Matt and I's favorite dishes, Chicken Tamale Casserole! I mean this is a hit and you must try it. I am not sure where I found the recipe and I am so sad I can not remember, but it is a keeper. This dish can be made all year long, but we tend to eat it more often in the Fall and Winter months. We love Mexican food so if you do as well, I can promise you this will be in your recipe box and on the menu at least once a month. Enjoy! TGIF!
