You can also serve this cheesy chicken tamale pie for guests. They will surely appreciate this because this is something that you don’t usually serve to everyday guests. So once they get a taste of this, they will surely be in awe. I served this to a group of my friends and they instantly fell in love with this without preamble. They just wanted to devour the entire pie and I didn’t actually stop them!
Actually, you don’t have to serve this just for supper. You can serve this any time of the day because it’s just that versatile. I sometimes even serve this for brunch just because during weekends, I allow my family to wake up late.
Your family will surely love this too! What else are you waiting for?
