Pulled Pork Tamale Casserole

From time to time, I cook a pork shoulder and pull the pork to be used in a few different meals. This is a pulled pork tamales recipe I came up with that may not be a traditional tamale, but the ingredients meet the criteria, and it is filling comfort food. There is no reason why you couldn't substitute shredded chicken or ground beef for the pork.
