I love casseroles like this that go together quickly and easily with very little effort. I made this as written using chipotle powder and chili beans. Also, I added a little extra cumin and some salt and pepper, too. I thought this had a great little "zing", but most of my family (being big wimps), thought it was very good but a little too hot. Next time, I'll probably use mild green chiles in place of the jalapenos to please everyone :) Oh well. Thank you for sharing this quick, easy, and flavorful casserole. *Made for 2009 Spring PAC*
