Chili Pie by Reeni

This is a Tex-Mex favorite with a chili 'filling' that gets smothered in cheese then topped with cornbread batter 'crust' and baked in the oven for a cheesy, spicy finish.

Smoked Brisket Tamales by myra byanka

Had some extra brisket, so came up with this recipe, which is good for brisket fans or for people who don't like spicy Mexican food, but might like tamales. I use a smoke/bake method of doing brisket. It always comes out perfect. When I have smoked the brisket for 5 hours or so, I finish it in the oven @ 250 for 5-8 hours. I find…

Sunday Supper Tamale Pie by myra byanka

One dish supper for Tex-Mex lovers. A CES poster made this with Jiffy, and said it was too sweet. I agree, so if you use Jiffy, mix it up, taste a bit, and add Tabasco or pepper to taste. This balances the sweetness, but does not add more salt.

Southwestern Sweet Potato Casserole by John Spottiswood

I adapted this from a Stuffed Acorn Squash recipe that sounded great. My kids aren't big fans of squash...but they do love yams and sweet potatoes. I thought this was wonderful served with warm rice. I sprinkled cayenne on mine to spice it up a bit. It was even better as leftovers the next couple of days. The photo did not come…

Pork and Hominy Chili by Nancy Miyasaki

Tamale Pie by Patrick Travis

This is one of my comfort foods for a cold winter day. This is a mildly spicy dish. If you are not into a little heat, or are serving this to kids, you may want to reduce the amount of ground peppers and eliminate the crushed red pepper in the cornmeal topping.

Tex-Mex Chalupas with Quick, Easy Taco Filling by Marlin Rinehart

What Texans call 'chalupas' are called tostadas outside the state. This is my quick and light summertime favorite meal when the Texas weather is hot and I have little appetite to eat. Two or three chalupas make a very satisfying meal.

Inexpensive comfort food dish where you can use left-over chili, or make the easy basic recipe provided from scratch. Chili mac is basically chili, bell peppers, macaroni, cheese, and beans. Use canned red kidney beans, pintos, ranch-style, or black beans.
