Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe corn kernels. Frozen corn can also be used, but it will not have as much flavor.
  • If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Be sure to drain and rinse the beans well before adding them to the casserole.
  • If you want a spicier casserole, add a teaspoon or two of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Top the casserole with shredded cheese before baking. This will give it a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the casserole with your favorite Mexican toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.

Conclusion:
