I can't believe I found this recipe. We used to have this quite frequently when I was growing up. The only change I made to this recipe was adding a little extra cheddar cheese. This tastes exactly as I remembered and the entire family loved it. We always called this Pedro's casserole for an unknown reason and I think the recipe is buried on RZ because of the name. This is an excellent Mexican Casserole that is easy to make! I hope more people try it out... enjoy!
