This is a recipe I heard on NPR one weekend while driving in the car. I love this recipe because you could make it vegetarian or add seasoned beef, chicken, or turkey if you wanted. Either way, it's very filling and very yummy!1 large yellow onion, diced (but not too small)
3 multi-colored bell peppers, diced (but not too small)
2 Tbs. butter (I use Promise)
1 can black beans (drained & rinsed)
1 can corn (drained)
1 (16 oz.) jar salsa
1/2 packet of taco seasoning
1 package 2% Mexican blend shredded cheese
1 packet cornbread mix (Martha White)
1 egg (for cornbread mix)
1/2 cup milk (for cornbread mix)
In a small bowl, prepare the cornbread mixture according to packet directions and set aside.
Sautee onions and peppers in butter until tender (~7-10 minutes). Add in corn, beans, salsa, and taco seasoning. Mix and continue to sautee for ~2 minutes until heated through.
Pour mixture into a casserole dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Even it out with a spoon, then put a healthy layer of cheese on top. Gently pour the cornbread mixture on top of the cheese and gently spread over until casserole is completely covered.
Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
This dish could be the main dish or a side dish. It could be vegetarian or meaty. You could add different vegetables if you want. That's what I just love about this dish! You can make it your own!

How many oz of shredded cheese? What type of salsa works best for this recipe? Chunky?
