Just made this again last night and was thinking it would be a fun recipe to
share. It is great for unexpected company, or to take to a pot-luck. It's
easy to always have the ingredients on hand and quick to put together!Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs. ground chuck
1 medium onion, chopped
1 16 oz.+ (or there abouts) can prepared tamales, including juice, (take off
papers) and cut up
1 15 oz. can whole kernel corn
1 15 oz. can whole pitted black olives
1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
1 7 oz. can diced green chilies
1 16 oz. jar salsa (your favorite brand - hot or mild to your taste)
3 Tbs. Pico-Pica hot sauce (or La Victoria, El Paso) NOT TABASCO
3 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
8 oz. wide egg noodles, uncooked (1/2 of a 16 oz. package)

Method:

1. Fry the hamburger with the onion till brown and cooked through in large
Dutch Oven (that can be put into an oven).

2. Add the remaining ingredients (including the uncooked noodles), except for
1 cup of the grated cheese.

3. Mix thoroughly.

4. Bake, covered, at 350 degrees for about one hour or until bubbly. Remove
cover and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top; return to oven for about 10
more minutes until cheese is melted.

Should serve 4-6.

You can pour into a baking dish and bake, if desired. Using one pot is less
clean-up. :)
