Mexican Vegetarian Casserole

                                                                         photo via
15.25oz can of whole kernal corn
15 oz can of black beans (rinsed and drained)
10 oz can of diced tomatoes with green chiles
8 oz sour cream
8 oz picante sauce (we used regular mild salsa)
2 cups cooked rice (instant brown rice)
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar

1 bunch green onions (sliced)
2.25 oz can sliced black olives (we omitted)
2 cups shredded monterey jack (didn't have, so I used mozzarella and sharp cheddar mixed)
1. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl.

2. Spoon into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

3. Top with remaining 3 ingredients.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Let cool before serving and it will hold together better!

*This had a kick to it, but all the kids ate it.  We really liked it and adding the extra cheese on top was great.  The regular salsa with the diced tomatoes (and chilies) could have been changed so it wasn't so spicy.  I bet we could have even left out the tomatoes (I'll try next time).

Great vegetarian dish!
