Tips: I came up with this casserole for a church potluck by using ingredients I already had on hand. You can experiment with the flavor by using different flavors of refried beans and red or green taco sauce. I used mild Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies to keep it from being to spicy for my kiddos. I also shared this recipe at Simply Sweet Home's Friday Favorites.
