Tex-Mex Squash Casserole



Original recipe can be found at Eatingwell.com. It didn't have black beans and just used cheddar, but I wanted a protein and didn't have enough cheddar.

This is as good as any nachos I've had and much healthier. It was also an excellent way to get squash into my diet since it is not a favorite. I couldn't even taste it.

Pre-heat oven to 400.

3 summer squash (yellow squash), cut into quarters and diced
1/2 a medium yellow onion, diced
1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed, diced
1 can chiles, drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 to 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
3 tablespoons flour

Mix all of the above ingredients to coat with the flour. Place in casserole dish and cover with foil. Cook 25-30 minutes.

Remove from oven and spoon 3/4 cup salsa in top. Cover in shredded cheddar. Bake for another 20-30 minutes.

I served this with tortilla chips and could have eaten half a pan. It would be great over rice or in tacos or tortillas.
