Rosalie S Cornmeal Casserole

Description

This is a family favorite. Sometimes i substitute chickpeas or other beans for the kidney beans. I suppose if you like ground beef, you could substitute ground beef for the kidney beans as well. If you love cheese, by all means, use more … If i've got enough i do!
