Yummy casserole! The spiciness was just right and my family didn't miss the meat at all. I used the green bell pepper and I used a potato masher to mash about 1/4 of the mixture. It's great with a dallop of sour cream, some sliced black olives and cilantro. Thanx for this recipe. I will be making this again.
