Chicken Tamale Casserole

I don’t know about your family, but mine has a special place for Mexican food. We just absolutely love it. So, when I come across a recipe that makes Mexican easy and simple, I am sold. I have to try it! I came across this Chicken Tamale Casserole on Pinterest yesterday. That was it, I had to try it. I will admit, it was a crowd pleaser. Both of my parents and I loved it, plus it was so simple to make.
