Tamale Pie = Chili w/ a Cornbread CrustI have seen this recipe on the blogosphere forever and have always been intrigued with it.A Tamale Pie that has nothing to do with Mexican tamales which are wrapped in corn husks, but I guess since this has a cornbread "crust" around the filling, it got the name "tamale pie".I think it's really just chili with a cornbread… |

It looked so pretty and the kitchen smelled so good!I also like a sprig of rosemary in… |
