Slow Cooker Spicy Black Bean-Corn Casserole - Cooking Light

By sstitt

This spicy vegetarian entree has all the flavors of enchiladas, but instead of using it to fill corn tortillas, you top the saucy black bean and corn mixture with a corn bread batter just before the last hour of cooking.

For a complete meal, serve with a salad or mixed greens, orange sections, and sliced avocado dressed in a light vinaigrette.
