MY FAVORITE CORN CHIP TAMALE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Remove paper from tamales and place in small baking dish, along with liquid from can. Slice each tamale into 3 - 4 pieces. Sprinkle with half of the chopped green onion.
• 2. Spread chili with beans over the tamales. Sprinkle with rest of green onions. Sprinkle with plenty of cheese!
• 3. Put corn chips in a baggie, and with hands or rolling pin, crush and spread over cheese to cover. *You can put the cheese on top of the corn chips, but I like the cheese to melt directly onto the beans.
• 4. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, or until heated through. Serve with condiments of your choice - I use sour cream and taco sauce. A great quick and tasty meal!
