I would love this Jill! Everytime we use to make chili, I would lay the tamales in the bottom of the bowl, top with homemade chile, cheese and sour cream. I know I would like this. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Rus! I love that! I am totally going to do that the next time I make chili! Thank you! In the meantime, this is just fantastic! Have a great weekend my friend!!!

I used to have a Better Homes & Gardens Meals in Minutes Cookbooks in the '70s and I used to buy those canned tamales but somehow missed making this recipe. Velveeta was a staple in our house as well as my grandparent's when I was growing up. My grandmother bought a block of it every Saturday afternoon for as far back as I can remember. Shredded Velveeta is new to me and I can see that it's every bit of difficult to work with as I imagined it would be. All of the ingredients came together beautifully though. It looks delicious and I was super happy to see all of you this time since the last three videos I watched were just your hands. I need to get some Velveeta and Hormel tamales so I can try this.

Hi Linda! I love that you had and used this fabulous book! It just makes me smile that your grandmother bought a block of Velveeta every Saturday! It was such a popular ingredient back then. Thank you for your kind words! I'm in many of my videos, especially the older ones. A few years ago I started mixing it up with hands only. I hope you try this dish and if you do, please let me know what you think!

Yummy yummy I would love this. I remember seeing the canned Tamales before but I don’t remember if I’ve tried them or not. It might just be Time! Love quick skillet meals where you stretch your ingredients and make something unique out of a few convenient items! I can see why yo7 locked onto this recipe when you were looking through your book Jill !! Sweet corn and tamales in sauce with spices 😋. And of course there’s velveeta! Who doesn’t love Velveeta? One of the tastiest cheeses and definitely the best melting cheese ever lol. Like 66 my friend 🤗🙂🍸🧡

Hi Ryan! 1M% on everything you said! This dish is so retro! And if you've never tried the tamales, they are old school but I highly recommend you give them a go. Always happy to see your comments my friend! Have a beautiful weekend!

Hello Jill! I just came from the grocery store and bought locally made pork tamales with sauce included (in a separate pouch inside so you can steam the tamale first while heating up the sauce. I was so excited! I also picked up small box of Velveeta as making Mac and cheese this weekend. You are wonderful to watch. My brain must have channeled your upload. LOL. ❣️ Much success with your cookbook!

I have a can of tamales in my pantry! I haven't bought Velveeta in years, but recently started buying their cheese sauce packets for a quick broccoli cheese rice, so good. Wal-Mart in the Atlanta area sells Velveeta shreds, so you may be able to get it delivered from their site, not sure. I love your recipe, it's so fun and looks delicious.

@yesterkitchen Жыл бұрын

Hi Kathleen! Oooh... Velveeta cheese sauce! Just give me a spoon, lol! If you have a can of tamales in your pantry, it is well worth it to grab the shreds and give this a try. It is absolutely wonderful! And thank you so much! I'm pretty old school and happy to shred a brick of velveeta. I think next time I'm going to take someone's advice and put it in the freezer for a little bit first. If you try it, please let me know!

I love Velveeta, I use it around the holidays in mac-n-cheese and Ro*Tel nacho dip. It's too salty for me to use regularly, so it's a welcome annual treat. I've never had Hormel tamales, but I've seen them in grocery stores for as far back as I can remember. I might pick some up this weekend to check them out.

@yesterkitchen Жыл бұрын

Hi Leguminator! I get it! Velveeta is not an everyday ingredient. I love that rotel dip! And you must try the tamales. They are commercial but have that special magic to them. Let me now when you do!

Nice! Word to the wise: a really soft cheese like Velveeta might be easier to grate if you freeze it. Try making your mac & cheese with that Old English cheese that comes in the glass jars some time. It melts like Velveeta but is sharp cheddar flavor! It's what I use in my aunt Edna's escalloped asparagus, without which Thanksgiving wouldn't be Thanksgiving.

Hi Jill, when I was a child (back in the '50's) I LOOOOVED Velveeta but when I joyfully tried it again a few years ago I discovered that somewhere along the line somehow the recipe seems to have changed from how I remember it tasting. So disappointing ☹
