This recipe was my grandmother's. It's a very simple baked casserole that is perfect to make for dinner tonight, or to make and refrigerate for the next day! You can add whatever you like (cilantro, cayenne, corn, maybe even onions if you're not allergic like I am!) but as is this is a festive and delicious dinner. Serve with a side of taco salad and corn!
