Fiesta Tamale Casserole

Here's an excellent recipe my mother made which I mention in the sidebar -- it's very easy and very tasty!

Preheat oven 350 degrees

Spray a 1-1/2 quart shallow casserole with non-stick spray

* 1 15 oz. can Beef Tamales in Chili Sauce
* 1 2.25 oz. can sliced black olives, drained
* 1 11 oz. can fiesta-style corn, drained
* 1/3 cup raisins
* 1 cup canned red enchilada sauce
* 1/3 cup diced onion
* 1/3 cup diced green bell pepper
* 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
* 1/2 cup Jalapeño Monterey Jack Cheese

Remove and discard the individual parchment wrappings from each tamale, and place the tamales in a mixing bowl. Mash well with a large spoon, then add the sliced black olives, fiesta style corn, raisins, onion, green bell pepper pieces and enchilada sauce. Mix well. Pour into the casserole, top with the two shredded cheeses and bake for 30 minutes or until casserole is bubbling and all the cheese has melted.

Serve with corn muffins and a tossed green salad.
