1. These look so good I've saved 'em to my recipe folder to give 'em a try!

I'm always on the lookout for a good casserole recipe, as it's about the only thing I can cook that will fill the stomachs of two hungry men! The chili and cornbread pie is something I cook quite often around here. I do things a little different, but that just comes from having lived in S. Texas for over 20 years... and we just call it a chili casserole. But man, on cold nights it truly hits the spot. I spice mine with a large variety of sweet and spicy peppers and lots of fresh cilantro. A wide variety of a spice base, too... I sometimes have trouble finding what I want from the local grocery stores, but there is one major chain that has a large store about 40 minutes from here that is entirely Mexican based. I love shopping there, and stop in whenever we happen to be in the area. From the veggies to the hard to get spices to the in-store cafe. Makes me feel like I'm back in Nuevo Laredo having lunch outside one of the little bodegas down there.
