I thought that this was a very versatile recipe and lends itself well to a little modification. I ran out of diced tomatoes with chiles, so I used diced tomatoes and added some canned chiles to the mixture; I omitted the black olives because I didnt have any; used a little less corn (ran out); and used a medley of cheeses (mostly cheddar with a little mozzarella and Jarlsberg mixed in). I thought the casserole was flavorful and I really enjoyed all of my bites that included a lot of cheese. After cooking, the casserole was a little bit watery, so we drained some of the excess liquid before serving. This reheated well for leftovers the next day. I served it as a side to Recipe #235615 2351615. Thanks!
