Recipe Notes

Casseroles like this get a bad name. Too simple, perhaps, or not “gourmet” enough, but you can create great meals in a single dish with just a little work. There are a lot of variations that make this even better. Use poblano peppers or hatch peppers (in season) for a bit of added spiciness. Smoked paprika makes this casserole rich and exotic. Or top with Tomatillo Salsa or Cilantro Jalapeno Spread to really make it complete.

"America, it has been observed, is not really a melting pot. It is actually a huge potluck dinner, in which platters of roasted chicken beckon beside casseroles of pasta, mounds of tortillas, stew pots of gumbo, and skillets filled with pilafs of every imaginable color."
