Back to school season is always hectic, and Country Crock wants to make your life in the kitchen as seamless and easy as possible. The Mexican Beef & Corn Casserole is the quick and delicious go-to meal to whip up for the hectic school & work week.
Country Crock sent me some products and ingredients as inspiration to put my own spin on a recipe they provided.
Mexicorn and Black Beans
Calaphon Twill Thumb Mitt & Kitchen Aid Gourmet Short Turner
and of course some Country Crock.
I don’t make a lot of Tex-Mex type food in our home because my family isn’t overly keen on the flavors, so I made this recipe my way, to create a casserole that was all my own.
