I had a long-time friend visiting from Southern California for a few days and while here, we put together this casserole to serve for dinner one night. *The Prep time isn’t known, since there were two of us in the kitchen, slicing, dicing, chopping, starting, stopping, and there might have been a glass or two of wine involved, too – just saying. It's made with leftovers (rice and corn). You can add jalapeno pepper if you’re making this for those who can handle a little heat. We weren’t sure of everyone’s heat tolerance, so we just left that out.
