Cook white rice as directed, but adding S&P & tomatoes with juice, using less water equal to the amount of tomato juice you have. Set aside. In seasoned skillet, heat olive oil & butter.

BUG BURN & BEAN CASSEROLE
INGREDIENTS
1 16oz jar Bugtussle Burn
1 to 1 ½ cans refried beans
3-4 poblano peppers
8 oz package grated cheese ( I use a mexican mixture of cheddar & monterrey jack)
10-12 soft corn tortillas
Olive oil
Dash: cumin, chili powder, garlic salt
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove seeds & veins from poblanos. Cook them in skillet with a little oil until they are fairly soft & then slice them up.
Coat a glass baking dish with a little oil (I prefer olive). Layer 5-6 tortillas on the bottom, then layer of refried beans (this is where I add dashes of the listed spices-because most refrieds are bland).
Smooth ½ jar Bugtussle Burn over beans.
Sprinkle on ½ of the sauteed poblanos.
Add layer of grated cheese.
Repeat all layers again, topping with cheese.
Cook 45 minutes covered, then uncover for 10 minutes or so to get cheese good & gooey.
Open another jar of “The Burn” & slather on top. Pig totally out!

"This salsa is NOT just for chips! I've used it in many recipes -- sausage, egg and cheese casserole for breakfast, you can bake shrimp in it or chicken and add some manchego cheese. Yummy! All your guests or family will wonder what that flavor is in the background!"
