Mexican Bean Dip

I am the Queen of the Casserole. Anything that can be made in one dish and served up the same, is my specialty. Here’s one of my favourites, courtesy of Jean Pare’s Company’s Coming. It’s fabulous with tortilla chips, crackers, torn chunks of bad-for-you white bread.  I served it when I hosted a meet and greet for the LOL.

Ole!

 Mix first 7 ingredients in a bowl. Spread in a shallow casserole dish (3.5 L).
