This was a quick and easy dinner; but I felt it was missing some spice. Made as written, but next time I may add some onions, seasoned salt and try with hot chili powder. We topped ours with sour cream and there is plenty leftover for DH's lunch. Made for Zaar Stars. -
We enjoyed this for lunch today. The cornbread stuffing really topped off the casserole. The only thing I need to do next time, would be to drain the tomatoes longer. I'm looking forward to making this again. Made for Please Review My Recipe: from 20 Apr 2011 -
I found this very tasty and easy! The only change I made was to add some diced chilies. Also topped with sour cream. yum!

This made a great dinner for my DH and I. I didn't have kidney beans so I substituted canned corn. Made For your Consideration. -
This was such an easy dish to prepared, and it made a great dinner. I will definitely make this again but will add a few herbs and diced chilies (as someone else suggested) for added flavor. This will become our favorite To-Go meal for busy weeknights. Thank you for sharing your recipe, TeresaS. Made for Zaar Stars tag game.

I really enjoyed this casserole. My husband didn't as much -- I think it was the cornbread stuffing he wasn't fond of, but I really liked that part! I used mexican shredded cheese instead of cheddar but otherwise made as directed. I think next time I'd try using Rotel tomatoes instead of plain old diced tomatoes. Thanks so much for posting :) Made for PRMR Tag.

<p>? Hi! My name is Teresa.? My husband and I like to take RV trips but it seems lately we just us it for vintage motorcross races. I enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, have done some rock climbing but age is creeping up on my poor old bones. Anything to do with the outdoors I enjoy, so why do I live in rainy Washington state? We have 2 wonderful children, both grown. My son lives in LA and my daughter and her husband recently moved back in the area with their little boy...our grandson... who just turned?5 years old. We have a granddaughter who lives close by...she just turned 23 this year. She's a sweetheart.? Life is good when you have a son and a?daughter and they?gift?you with a granddaughter and grandson. :)??</p>
