BLACK BEAN TAMALE PIE
I'm never disappointed when I make something from Jim Fobel's Casseroles. This is a delicious vegetarian dish. If you decide to add meat, add about 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken on top of the beans and use chicken stock in place of the 3 cups of boiling water. Stick with cold water for moistening the cornmeal. You can also use sauteed ground beef with the beans. The key is marinating the black beans in sherry and lemon juice. I must confess I didn't have any yogurt, so I used sour cream instead. Next time I'll add more jalapenos. Yum! Prep time excludes marinating time.

Tips:
- Soak the Black Beans Overnight: Soaking the black beans overnight significantly reduces the cooking time and makes them easier to digest. If you're short on time, you can also use canned black beans, but be sure to rinse and drain them thoroughly before using.
- Use Ripe Avocados: Ripe avocados are essential for a smooth and creamy guacamole. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Season the Guacamole to Taste: Guacamole is a versatile condiment that can be seasoned to your liking. Feel free to adjust the amount of lime juice, cilantro, and salt to suit your taste preferences.
- Layer the Ingredients in the Casserole Dish: Layering the ingredients in the casserole dish ensures that each layer has a chance to cook evenly. Start with a layer of black beans, followed by a layer of corn, then a layer of cheese, and finally a layer of guacamole.
- Bake the Casserole Until the Cheese is Melted and Bubbly: Baking the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly ensures that the casserole is cooked through and the flavors have had a chance to meld together.
Conclusion:
Black bean tamale pie is a delicious and easy-to-make casserole that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's packed with protein and fiber from the black beans, and the corn, cheese, and guacamole add a delicious and creamy flavor.
