Tips:

  • For a creamy casserole, use a combination of canned and dried beans. Canned beans will provide a smooth texture, while dried beans will add a more hearty bite.
  • To save time, use pre-cooked bacon or sausage. You can also use ground beef or turkey, if desired.
  • Add your favorite vegetables to the casserole. Chopped bell peppers, onions, or corn are all great additions.
  • Season the casserole to taste. A simple combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder is a good starting point.
  • Top the casserole with shredded cheese before baking. This will give it a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the casserole with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or salad.
