4. 4

   Turn mixture into a greased casserole.

5. 5

   Bake at 350u00b0F for 15 minutes.

6. 6

   **Sometimes I like to melt a little Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

7. 7

   Also, if my daughter isn't eating with us, I'll use Rotel instead of the tomatoes. I've even been known to add a dash or two of hot sauce!

8. 8

   If you don't like black beans, use pinto beans or chili beans. The choice is yours.

9. 9

   Of course meat eaters can add browned ground beef or chicken.

    Also, to make this a really easy meal I sometimes cook it on the stove in my large cast iron skillet and just pop it in the oven in that! Now that truly is a one-pot meal!
