We have made this recipe several times and it is a keeper! Finally looked it up and put it in my recipe box. I am trying to mix everything up the day before and just put the slow cooker in the morning before work. Great hearty meal for my husband who works construction and our daughter who loves beans!

My husband and I both love this recipe. I used frozen corn instead of canned and changed the black beans for pinto beans and it turned out great. This is now on rotation for favorite recipes. Can't wait to see how the grandkids like it.

This has become a staple in our house! LOVE the flavors and how easy it is!!! I often add diced green, yellow and red peppers, too. Yum!

This is a winner and deserves its 5-star rating. Like a previous reviewer, I was skeptical about the topping but it turned out great. My family loved it as well!

Great all-around. I even doubted the topping, but boy was I mistaken! Delicious and easy. I even threw in a chopped sweet potato that needed to be used, and it went great. I love recipes you can add pretty much anything you have on hand to and it still works.

Oh my gosh! This was so good! I was worried it would be too juicy but it wasn't at all . . . just right. The corn bread puffed up and it was absolutely wonderful! Next time I'll be sure and have fresh cilantro. I know we will be making this again. Thanks for the great recipe.

This one got a thumbs' up from the kids and the adults in our house. There is a bit of a kick to it, but even my youngest ate it without complaining. I especially loved it with the fresh cilantro and sour cream on the side!

My Husband loved this meal! He ate more than he should have?My two and four year old boys thought it was a little spicy, but a little sour cream helped cool it down for them!

I'm always looking for good crockpot recipes and this one is a favorite. I love how spices and fresh cilantro give it so much flavor. Sometimes I cook the meat up the day before to save time the following day.

I used chili seasoning instead of spices and enchilada sauce..turned out great!

I had this recipe this past weekend while my husband and I worked outside all day. It took little effort to put together and finish with the corn bread, which was incredibly moist! I added some sugar to the corn bread mix for added sweetness (personal preference). I was YUMMY and I'm very glad there are leftovers!

Had some problems baking the break in my cooker but a piece of Aluminum foil did the trick!

Did some personal tweaking on it and it was DELISH! (I'm sure it's great without tweaking too). I used ground turkey instead of beef, green enchilada sauce and instead of using pinto beans I added 1 can Mexican chili beans AND 1 can seasoned black beans. I added 1 tsp garlic powder & 1 tsp onion powder. It was a total hit!! You can control the heat by using mild enchilada sauce and less chili powder (or vice versa). Thanks :)

We enjoyed this recipe very much and it was so easy. It's similar to a thick Taco Soup with yummy cornbread on top. Flavors were a perfect blend for us! I've already added it to my menu list.

Excellent!! My husband and I are on low fat, low salt cardiac diets, so I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef, and left out the salt . . . and it was STILL delicious. I froze the left-overs, and it was great re-heated, too. I'm getting ready for my monthly cooking day, and my husband made a special request for more Slow Cooker Tamale Pie. Thank you!

Very good! I skipped the corn bread and served with (hint of lime)Tortilla chips. I forgot to add the cheese, but it was excellent without it. Will make again.

Easy to make, filling, and the cornbread/cheese topping was a great addition. The slight kick was an added bonus.

Colorful, easy and delicious. Since the corn muffin batter is extremely thick with 1 box mix and two eggs, I added about 1/3 cup of milk and it baked the corn muffin topping very light and airy. Will definitely make this again, maybe substituting 1 package of taco seasoning for the cumin, chili powder and salt and seeing what happens. Love the convenience of this recipe.

This recipe was extremely easy to make, and delicious to eat! I didn't have green onions, so I substituted a whole medium white onion. Also used a can of diced tomatoes with jalapenos instead of chilies, and added 3 cloves minced garlic. Since my husband and I like spicy food, I doubled the amount of chili powder. It was wonderful! The sweetness of the cornbread mixed with the spice of the 'pie' was a nice blend. I definitely needed the sour cream to cool down the heat, while my husband was adding hot sauce to spice it up, lol. This recipe will definitely be made many more times in our house!!! Thanks TOH!
