Comments
I have been making this for 15 years and my husband loves it. I picked up a recipe card at Albertson's one day and have used it ever since. My dog chewed up the bottom corner and I was so relieved to find it on line. Thank you for posting. I could have done it all by heart except the time.
A family favorite for over 20 years. I've taken it to pot lucks and it never fails that I get asked for the recipe.
Just made this deliciousness! I added a layer of black beans with beef chorizo. I can't believe I never thought to try something like this before!
Can this be made ahead of time—freeze or refrigerated a day before?
I went to the Lawry’s plant on a field trip a long time ago. We ate in the cafe and this is what I had, and they gave us a stack of recipes with this included. I’ve been making it for years, my family and friends love it. I also add about a half bag of frozen corn to it and sliced scallions sprinkled on top. They’re nice additions!
