Chicken Tamale Casserole


"I came up with this dish to satisfy my cravings for the tamales I had at Mexican restaurants when I was growing up in Houston. Homemade tamales are too time-consuming to prepare for weeknight meals, but I discovered a corn bread mix approximates the flavor." —Risë Minton, Smyrna, GA

* 1 cup (4 ounces) preshredded 4-cheese Mexican blend cheese, divided
