This was really good! I made a couple of substitutions: I used fat-free milk in place of the evaporated milk, a small can of enchilada sauce in place of the tomato sauce, and a can of diced green chilies. Having made those substitutions, I should have cut back on the chili powder because I'm cooking for three kids, and it was a bit too spicy for them. My husband and I loved it though!

    This was just okay. I think it was a good idea with the crust, but the filling definitely needs some adjustments. I probably won't make it again as I have a similar recipe using cornbread on top that I like better.

    This was really Good!!! Because I have vegetarians as well as meat eaters, I used ground tofu. I also used Enchilada sauce over the tomato sauce and 1 can of green chili's. The Corn crust was lovely, soft and full of flavor. The topping and cheese made a lovely presentation, and the whole dish was full of flavor. My two oldest had their boyfriends over for dinner and they inhaled what would have been for lunch the next day. The next time I will make two recipes worth for dinner. Thanks for posting this recipe. Di

    This was very good! I prepared it as written, except for leaving out the olives because I didn't have any on hand. For me, it worked best to let the cornmeal mixture cool quite a bit before trying to press it into the pan. My cornmeal mixture was too thick to spread with a spoon or spatula, but once it cooled for at least 5 minutes, it became less sticky and was easy to press into the pan with my hands. The recipe is great as written, but I will probably use a can of diced green chiles next time in place of the bell peppers. The bell peppers were fine, but I think my family would prefer the chiles. If it weren't for the kids, I'd use diced jalapenos. We just ended up adding jalapenos to the dish at the table. Anyway, I'd definitely make this again!
