This is a really fun dish to serve! The only change I made was to use pinto beans instead of black (just personal preference) and added a small can of sliced olives. The bake time is right on! It has good flavor but was a little on the sweet side with the corn bread. I am definately going to make this again but will add some diced jalepenos to the meat mixture to give it a little more kick! Thanks ;) Spring PAC 2010

I'm a born and raised city girl who moved to a small town, and love it! I now live in Lexington KY, and I am trying to adjust back to the larger town feel. One good thing...more restaurants! I love to cook, and learned from my father, who passed away 4 years ago. He cooked by throwing things together, and it always tasted great. I love to experiment in the kitchen, and am thrilled when my husband calls me a good cook. Really, I just love to do it!
