Mexican Cornbread Chicken Casserole "Wild Wednesday Recipes"


Wednesday nights in our house are special for me and my youngest. It is mommy son night. We cook dinner together, picking one of our favorite meals and then eat dinner in front of the TV, either watching one of our favorite shows or a movie. My husband usually has a meeting on Wednesdays at his lodge and he is "Mr Picky" when it comes to food especially anything Mexican or Chinese which me and little man love,  so we really look forward to Wednesday nights and this in one of our favorite meals to make together.

4oz of Cream Cheese (1/2 package)
1 10oz can of diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 15oz can of black beans drained.
