This was a very enjoyable family friendly meal. I did not have anything out to add after it cooked, but put everything in the layers to go in the oven. One of my bean dips had jalopenas in it, so I did not add anymore chilies, and I used the olives sparingly, as some in my family like them and some not so much. Maybe that would have been a good add-on item. Thanks for an easy dinner both to fix and to clean up - only one pan and one casserole dish.
