Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 can (15 ounces) chili with beans
1 jar (13-1/2 ounces) tamales
1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
4 slices process American cheese

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Spoon into a greased 9-in. square baking dish; top with chili.
Remove papers from tamales; cut each into six slices. Arrange over chili. Sprinkle with corn and top with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 4 servings.

To give Quick Tamale Casserole more of a taco taste, add an envelope of taco seasoning and 3/4 cup water to the ground beef after browning and draining.
