Crockpot Enchilada Tamale Pie






     Although this may not be my typical high protein low carb recipe, it's still not too shabby for a large gathering.  Crockpot Enchilada Tamale Pie is great for those days that you have to feed a crowd but don't have a lot of time.  These amazing flavors combine to total 12 hearty servings, each hefty cup has 333 calories, 38g net carbs and 16g protein, (feel free to sub with any of my suggestions in the recipe for leaner stats).  The next time you get a hankering for Mexican start the celebration with this festive dish!  Ole'
