New Easy Dinner Recipe from Southern Living

My sister shared this recipe with me, all of her family loved it. I tried it with my crowd last night and it was a hit. We of course made it more fattening by adding sour cream when we served it and it was delicious! It is from the Busy Moms Weeknight Recipe Southern Living book. By the way, my kids had their doubts when I was mixing it up and when it was in the pan before it was cooked...but they were apologizing after they tasted it. I doubled it for my crowd and instead of using two cans of black beans, I used 1 black bean and one can of pinto beans.
