A flavorful casserole of cheeses, beans, and tortilla chips, baked and topped with sour cream, lettuce, and tomatoes

6-8 servings

Ingredients: 

2 cups freshly cooked black beans (or 2 cans, drained)
1 cup salsa
2 Tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Hot sauce, to taste
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese OR romano cheese
juice from canned hot peppers
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

Shredded lettuce
Diced tomatoes

Instructions: 

1. In saucepan, heat beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin, garlic, salt, pepper, and hot sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.

2. In mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese and parmesan cheese, adding enough juice from a jar of canned hot peppers to make the mixture spreadable (over chips).

Tammy's Review: 

This is so delicious!! It's also easy to make, and affordable. I love the bean and cheese mixture of the casserole part, and the sour cream, lettuce, and cheese make it even better! This is an easy dish to make ahead and just pop into the oven before dinner. My rating: 10/10

Great stuff!

Ugh, my review just go zapped!

Under my "use what you have" theory, I used barley instead of chips, and had only one layer of it. I topped that with cottage cheese that I had whirled in my mini chopper, and added extra parmesan (because I love it) and milk to thin. I could've thinned it a lot more because it didn't spread, so I just dolloped it over the barley.

After simmering the beans, I mashed them with a potato masher because we prefer that texture. I also mixed in about 3/4 c leftover chicken, but didn't really notice it.

This will go in my recipe box!
