I made this tamale pie a few days ago and i was happy with how it turned
out.  I used dried pinto beans i cooked in the crockpot and i stuck to
the recipe 100%.  I topped it with homemade hot sauce and enjoyed it.
Without the hot sauce, i think the recipe would have needed cumin and
chiles.

Oh yeah, both this and my other tamale pie recipe instruct you to pour
corn meal into boiling water.  I was using masa flour and this almost
instantly clumped into masa lumps.  I vaguely recall reading somewhere
that it will stir into cold water more easily.  So the next time i
make it, i will try stirring the flour into the water first and THEN
bringing it to a boil.
