Chicken Tamale Casserole

Ok, ignore the mass amounts of sour cream in the picture. Please use less. Husband loves sour cream and I could do without entirely. That being said Husband fell in love with this meal AND Thing 1 ate almost an entire serving. We love these 8 serving casseroles because we split them in half and put one in the freezer for later. Works great for when you have too much going on to get to the store or you just don't feel like cooking. Husband made this and added a little fresh pico de gallo since we had it and it would have eventually gone bad in our fridge. Less spicy than expected but great flavors. 5 out of 5 stars.
