This casserole is my alternative to a noodle casserole, as my better half is not a big noodle fan. I also get to use my homemade HOT SALSA..this is scrumptious!

    Let rest 20 to 30 minutes before serving, to let set up. I serve this with a dollop of sour cream and hot pepper flakes atop for more added heat; and garlic bread. Or perhaps a salad..This is a very versatile and tasty casserole! This freezes well also. I put it on a paper plate and vacuum sealed it. ENJOY!!
