Two Bean Caserole

klores's Note:

If you like a little spice, and you love easy fast and healthy, this is it. Black beans and fat free refried beans with as many different peppers as you want to add - bake and serve! Its that simple. Great for a meal if you're a vegetarian like me, or serve it as a side. You can choose how spicey you like it and be creative! Make it yours!
