SOUTHWESTERN PASTA CASSEROLE
I had left over taco meat, chopped onions and cheese. I went to my pantry and found a can of chopped tomatoes and chilies then found a container of light sour cream. I decided to create a meal from these ingredients. This casserole has a slight kick to it (a little spicy) but I enjoyed it as well as my family.

SOUTHWESTERN SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE
A close friend made this Mexican-Italian bake for me almost 20 years ago, and I've prepared it regularly ever since. It comes together in a snap because it relies largely on convenient ingredients I keep on hand. We like it with a loaf of crusty bread. -Rose Turner Minnick, Christiansburg, Virginia

SOUTHWESTERN BEEF-AND-PASTA CASSEROLE
This is a deliciously cheesy pasta casserole. If you can't find mini penne pasta in your grocery store, you can use small shell pasta or regular penne instead. I like to use "Recipe#111347" for the alfredo sauce.

SOUTHWESTERN BAKE
A delicious southwestern recipe that includes black beans. I use mild salsa, but if you like it spicy, use hot salsa. This is one of my favorite recipes.
