I'm not sure where I got this recipe, I thought it was from here but couldn't find it on here when I searched for it, so I'm not sure who to give the credit to! But it is yummy!
Changes that I made:
I used brown rice. I just served corn on the side instead of putting it in the casserole, and I didn't drain the tomatoes much at all to add the moisture the corn would have. I also only used about 1 1/2 tsp of chili powder, one of my boys doesn't like things too hot. And I also just mixed things together in the 9x13 so it was one less dish to wash and it worked out just fine!
We had it was a green salad and the corn and everyone enjoyed it!
