Hot Dish Appreciation Project

Tamale Casserole
1 lb. ground beef (or chicken)
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 (1.25 oz.) pkg. taco seasoning mix
1 can black beans, drained
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen corn
1 c. thick and chunky salsa
1 c. shredded cheddar
1 pkg. refrigerated corn bread twists
2.25 oz. can of chopped black olives, opt.

Brown ground beef, onion and pepper. Drain. Add taco seasoning, beans, corn, salsa and olives; mix. Pour into greased casserole dish. Top with cheese. Arrange corn bread twists in lattice fashion on top. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 mins. Makes 6-8 servings.
Note: a corn bread mix can be poured on top instead of twists.

Note to Gianna - When I told grandma about your project, she suggested you serve it with fluff. :-)

Thanks - I think this may be the entree for the upcoming celebration for the feast of St. Sodius, founder of the Saltesians (also a recruitment dinner for the order). Long story.
