Sure, if I could talk Nana into testing the beans much earlier than 20 minutes...

Thank you! They are intimidating at first, but not actually very difficult. Mostly it just takes a bit of time for chilling and assembly, but once you're done, they keep for ages in the freezer, so you can slice and bake them at will.

Lecsó for three (Hungary) → Seven ingredients, about fifteen minutes, around $11: 12 oz smoked sausage, 3 bell peppers, 1 onion, one 14.5-oz can diced tomatoes, 1 tablespoon sweet paprika, 2 tablespoons oil thistleandmoss.com/p... #Recipe #Cooking #CheapEats #BudgetCooking

Checkerboard! Technically they are French butter cookies, made with ground almonds in the dough. bsky.app/profile/rive...

Bangers and mash with very sage-forward sausages, and thick mushroom and onion gravy, with some braised carrots on the side. Cookies for dessert.

It's such a clever little recipe, from the pages of Fine Cooking Magazine no. 30 (1999). The technique is very forgiving, and they always look (and taste) great!

Thanks! They're pretty awesome, because you can frontload the work, and then just slice and bake at will. And they're easier than they look! 😊

Lost my mind and started the holiday baking early, in order to use up a surfeit of ground almonds. Naturally I had to do a little test bake...the verdict? Success! The rest of the dough logs will stay tightly wrapped until needed in December. 🍜🍽️🍪

I didn't add corn and cheese into the cornbread topping this time, but I always put a nice layer of grated cheese between the filling and the topping.

Dawna Read @riverofcrows.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I pretty much wing it for the filling and use my small-batch cornbread recipe for the topping (for a 23cm baking dish). This was lean ground beef, black beans, onions, garlic, pickled serranos, diced tomatoes, corn, & homemade taco seasoning. alwaysinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2018/12/jala...?

It's not all THAT akin to an actual tamale. 🙂 It's essentially a casserole with a chili-like base, and a cornbread topping baked onto it.

Yeah, that's the ticket. 🍽️🍜

I hadn't made tamale pie in absolutely ages, so it was high time. Extremely delicious. 🍜🍽️

Ah yes, Lao Gan Ma! If you like this, you'll like salsa macha, which is basically the Mexican version of the same thing.
