- **Variations: You can use a spicy jack cheese instead of cheddar to add spice, along with using spicy salsa in the crock pot. I have also used fat free shredded cheddar and I only got rave responses. No one noticed it was a healthier cheese. Also, you can use pinto beans instead of black, and last, but not least, you can try boneless pork chops instead of chicken. They all come out yum.

Tips:
- For a tastier casserole, use fresh ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. A blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack is a classic choice, but you could also try using pepper Jack, queso Oaxaca, or queso fresco.
- If you want a spicier casserole, add some chili powder, cayenne pepper, or diced jalapeños to the meat mixture.
- Be sure to cook the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes in a 350°F oven.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
