@house_cat, your tamale pie recipe is almost the chili that I grew up on, and it's delicious!

Ground beef, onion, tomato soup, chili powder and dark red kidney beans. Served with cornbread. Comfort food that my family loves.

Mom also used that same recipe (sans chili powder & kidney beans)  w/ elbow or shell macaroni. So good!
