This was a really tasty casserole! I used canned green chilis instead of the bell pepper. I was worried when I made the cornbread batter because it seemed kind of runny, but it baked up just fine. It was a little greasy (maybe all that cheddar!?!) but very yummy!

I have made this several times now and everyone who has tasted it loves it. I usually do half with jalepenos and one half without for the toddler. We serve this with a lettuce and tomato black bean salsa salad. So quick and delicious this dish is jsut perfection.

DEEEEELICIOUS!! I discovered this same recipe several years ago in Taste of Home's Quick Cooking magazine and it instantly became a family favorite! I was planning on posting it, but saw it was already here. Both my husband and I thought something was missing though, and so one time I tried adding chopped tomatoes. That didn't do much, so I scrapped that idea, but I have since starting serving this dish with a mixture of salsa and sour cream on the side as well as a side dish of Salsa Rice (use Deb Wolf's Salsa Rice #97070 -- quick'n'easy!) along with a salad. The tomato-y accompaniment really completes this dish. Every time I serve this for company, I have to write out the recipe again -- now I know where to send people to get it themselves!!
