    the sausage ones from this little road side stand in Shreveport, LA are amazing. My grandmother gets them only from there and they are nice and HOT. Everytime we go visit or my mom visits I demand that some have to be brought back. mmhmmm.

    I love to cook and love tamales but I have never made them either.
    Looks very involved plus I don't have a big deep steamer.
    Can anyone recommend maybe a really good tamale casserole recipe ?

    If I knew what that was I might be able to, but I don't. Please elaborate?

    What kind of sausage? Because this sounds intriguing.

    Really you MUST elaborate because I am curious. So far country sausage comes to mind possibly?

    it's nice that nowadays you can just buy premade masa...it'd take my grandma 2 days to make a batch of tamales cause she made everything from scratch. There is this lady that comes into the laundromat i go to and sells tamales, they're pretty good. My fave are green chili w/cheese or the sweet ones (no raisins).

    I should have known better than to open this topic... I was already getting a little hungry because I had an early dinner.
    Cheese & green chili
    zucchini, onion & garlic
    pineapple & raisin (and yes, with Mexican brown sugar in the masa!)

    You guys are killing me with the pictures! I'm going to bed now before I start licking the screen, or heading to the Mex place down the road that's open 24 hours...

    No, really I'm going to bed NOW!
