Made the tamale casserole recipe tonight. There were a few problems. There definitly was not enough of the cornmeal mixture to cover both the bottom and top of the mixture in the 13x9 pan. The recipe calls for shortening but doesn't explain it use - maybe it was to grease the pan but I would not use as much as it called for to do just that. I have 3 young kids and with my husband and myself we just about finished it off. The kids didn't like it too much, so they did'nt eat much either.
