Kind Of Tamale Pie Like

This was one of the recipes my daughter picked out for the week’s meals. I try to get the family input when deciding what to make. We all have different tastes and pick very different things.

She loves olives, so I am pretty sure that was one of the reasons she picked this recipe.

The meat mixture is very similar to a tamale pie in my opinion It has the chili powder and the tomato sauce like a tamale pie.

The olives were an interesting choice. The do add a little saltines, which is good. I honestly don’t care for olives, so usually pick them out.

The dough was wonderful. I used the Richer Biscuit Dough recipe. It was a nice thickness. And super flaky!

The best part of this recipe is that is took very little time to make. Under thirty minutes from start to finish.

Overall I think this was a great dish.
