tamale-crusted chili pie

That's not really the name of the recipe: we mundanely call it "Leftover Pie" and we make it every three weeks or so, usually on a Monday night and usually with leftovers from chili made on Saturday night. If you want to make it really cheap and easy, don't prepare this filling--use your own leftover chili (red or white) or taco filling made with beef, ground beef, pork or chicken. Or, if you have leftover roast chicken or steak or pork roast, make the filling by chopping the meat roughly, mixing it with enough enchilada sauce or salsa to moisten, then stirring in the beans and corn; fill the crust without heating the filling. If you have leftover refried beans, spread those on the bottom crust before pouring on the filling. To make it not-so-cheap, decorate it with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with sliced olives, diced avocado and chopped cilantro.
