Bean & Cornbread CasseroleThis hearty casserole makes for a wonderful main course or side dish – perfect for potluck get-togethers. You can also add ground beef to the recipe if you like a meatier meal. Makes 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients                       1 tablespoon olive oil   1 cup chopped onion   1 garlic clove, minced or put through a press   1 tablespoon chili powder   1 teaspoon ground cumin   1 teaspoon sugar   1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican oregano)   2 8-ounce cans tomato sauce   2/3 cup cooked pinto beans, drained   2/3 cup cooked black beans, drained   1 4.5-ounce can chopped green chiles, drained   3/4 cup buttermilk   1 egg, lightly beaten   1 cup cream-style corn   1-1/3 cups self-rising yellow cornmeal (not cornbread mix)

Directions                       Preheat oven to 400°F.
                      Sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chili powder, cumin, sugar, oregano, tomato sauce, pinto beans, black beans, and chiles. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour the bean mixture into the dish, cover, and set aside.
  In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg and corn, stirring well. Add the self-rising cornmeal and stir, just to combine. Pour the cornmeal mixture over the bean mixture in an even layer.
