"Vegetarian Style" Chili Casserole
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
2 tsp margarine
2 (16 oz) cans vegetarian chili
2 (16 oz) cans Refried beans
1 (15.5 oz) can kernel corn, drained (I use frozen corn)
1 (15.5 oz) can Salsa, your choice, hot, medium, or mild
8 corn tortillas, torn up
1 cup light cheddar cheese
Fresh whole chili peppers, (optional for garnish)
In pan saute onions and celery in margarine until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in chile, refried beans, corn and salsa. Arrange half the tortilla pieces in a 10 inch square baking dish; top with half the chili mixture. Repeat layer.
Bake in a 350 degree oven, covered for 45-50 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese on top. Bake uncovered 2-3 minutes more until cheese is melted. Garnish with whole chili peppers, if desired.
