If you like foods with Southwestern flair, this just might become a new favorite. Loaded with cheese, meat and beans, the layered casserole comes together in a snap. There are never any leftovers when I take this dish to potlucks. —Terri Keenan Tuscaloosa, Alabama

This has become one of our family favorites. I use corn tortillas in place of the flour and pinto beans instead of black since my kids aren't big fans of the black. It's wonderful!

This is a fabulous recipe! Anyone I know who has tried it just loves it. Great as leftovers too! Using cheddar cheese gives more of a rich flavor, though there's so much going on that you really don't need it, and if you like spicy, you can use hot ro-tel, add jalepenos, or substitute pablano pepper for green bell pepper

My husband is a firefighter and makes it for the guys at the station. He gets tortilla chips and sour cream so the guys can get creative. They love it. It is a yummy recipe.

By the way! I substitute low-carb tortillas (diabetes) and it does not lose a thing!

I have made this twice! First the way it was shown and second I added more stuff and played with the cheeses and flavors of ro-tel that is offered. This flys out of the kitchen so fast it's crazy!

The boys in the family LOVE this! One reader sent in a good idea...spread refried beans on tortillas while they are on a flat surface and then place in the pan. So much easier!

My husband and I enjoy this dish and make it for company. I like to cut some extra tortillas and place around the edges so that each layer is completely separated. We also make it without the refried beans occasionally.

It is a winner!
