I made some shredded pork recently. Some of it was used for enchiladas and a few days later I made a tamale pie. I don't care for the name "tamale pie" because it's just shredded pork with cornbread but my wife said it tastes like a tamale so tamale pie it is. OTOH, I like your idea of stuffing peppers better. Next time I will make it so.
