Wow! 10 Stars for this one. I made 1/2 the recipe, which filled a 9x9 casserole! 16 people gorged themselves. I made an inadverent mistake and added a small can of diced Jalapenos instead of diced Chilis. (had no idea how I even bought those.) They all, said it was a wonderful mistake! We decided this could also be made with canned chicken or even crawfish. Thanks for this great recipe. I think our whole city will be serving this a LOT.

I'm a high school music teacher, turned elementary music teacher, who is also a mom. My evenings are busy -- I teach piano and voice lessons one evening a week, direct the youth choir at our church on another night, and sing with a professional chamber choir here in Pittsburgh on yet another night, so I'm always looking for quick-fix meals. I love to bake too, much to the delight of my daughters, but not my husband, who loves sweets, but is very health-conscious! It would be great to have a week of free time to make all the delicious recipes I find here on 'Zaar. Not sure who I'd find to help me eat them, but I'd do it anyway!
