New Year's Eve Crowd Pleaser Casserole.


The ingredients of this highly flavored casserole are reminiscent of mole, the Mexican sauce made from onion, garlic, chiles, and chocolate. The chipotle chiles add a smoky flavor, although they are optional.

2 teaspoons olive oil.
2 cups chopped onion.
1 cup chopped green bell pepper.
1 cup chopped red bell pepper.
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder.
1 tablespoon dried oregano.
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa.
1 teaspoon ground cumin.
6 minced garlic cloves.
2 cups water.
1 1/2 cups uncooked bulgur or cracked wheat.
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro.
1 16-ounce can drained pinto beans.
1 15-ounce can drained black beans.
1 14 1/2 ounce can undrained diced tomatoes.
1 3/4 cups vegetable broth.
2 drained canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, minced (optional).
8 ounces shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese, divided.
2 cups baked tortilla chips.

Preheat over to 375 degrees. Heat oil in a Dutch over over medium-high heat. Add onion and next 7 ingredients (onion through garlic): saute 5 minutes. Add water and next 7 ingredients (water through chiles); bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 10 minutes while stirring occasionally. Spoon half of bean mixture into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish; sprinkle with half the cheese. Top with remaining bean mixture. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake an additional 10 minutes. Press chips into casserole.

Serves 12.
