Answer 2

Mexican Vegetarian Casserole:

This was originally a dip idea. Margaret added the rice and made it a meatless, one-dish meal.

1 (15 1/4-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (10-ounce) can whole tomatoes and green chiles
1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
1 (8-ounce) jar picante sauce
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups cooked rice
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 (2 1/4-ounce) can sliced ripe olives
1 (8-ounce) package Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Combine first 8 ingredients, and spoon into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining ingredients.

Bake at 350° for 50 minutes.

Yield: 6 servings
