Black Bean Casserole
This has been a favorite family standby for years. It’s healthy, meatless, and inexpensive.
Chop 1/2 cup onion and one green pepper, and saute in 1 tsp oil until crisp-tender.
Rinse and drain two cans of black beans.
When the veggies are tender and the onion is translucent and just beginning to brown, add one can diced tomatoes, the black beans, and 1 1/2 cups of your favorite salsa.
Mix together and add 1 tsp. cumin.
Cover the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish with corn tortillas. Then layer with 1/3 of the bean mixture. Sprinkle 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese over the beans. Then repeat the layers twice more.
Sprinkle the top with some sliced olives if you like them. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until casserole is heated through and cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream.
