Things are moving right along with the roofing project. The paper is down and the tiles will be delivered this afternoon.
My husband (the cute one in the middle with the glue gun) and a few of his friends/coworkers are doing a fantastic job! It will be so nice to have a new roof this fall and winter and not worry about leaks.

I did my part by fixin' some grub for the hungry boys on the roof.
Pam has a Mexican Rice Casserole on her blog that I have wanted to make for months now. I changed up the ingredients a bit and worked with what I had available.
Here is what went into this hearty casserole:
1 lb ground turkey
1 cup white rice
2 cloves chopped garlic
1 4 oz can fire roasted diced green chilies
1 15 oz can enchilada sauce
1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
2-3 medium tomatoes,sliced
1-2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup black olives, sliced
Cook rice according to package instruction. Saute the garlic in 1 tbsp of oil. Add the turkey, break into pieces and cook through. Add the rice, beans, chilies, and sauce. Stir to combine.
Pour into a greased 13 x 9 casserole dish. Top with tomato slices, cheese and olives. Cover with a spray oiled piece of foil. Place into a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
You can top this off with sour cream, guacamole, hot sauce, salsa or whatever else you might fancy.
The boys had several helpings of my casserole and gave it a thumbs up.

I'm sure the boys on the roof did a great job and should be rewarded by your yummy rice casserole!
This really looks delicious. You fed these guys really well.

Does hubby ... aka the cute one .. know we are all checkin' him out! lol
Food looks great honey,

I like beans, rice and cheese in a recipe. The dish looks so filling!
I made the casserole for dinner last night and it was awesome. I had a larger container of enchilada sauce so I used a bit more rice/beans/meat. I served it over a bed of finely chopped romaine with a dollop of sour cream.
Hubs and I loved it and three out of four kids gave it a thumbes up.
Definitely a KEEPER!
Looks delish!
(Can't believe you made all those men stip down though - just to get some dinner.. ;-)
Pam does have some dynamite recipes over there, and I know I would dig that after a hard day on the roof. Hope it's all set and done with by now :)
This casserole looks like taco/nacho heaven! I would love to come home to this after a long day of roofing.
First - you were in front of me at SITS, so I came on over to say hello!
Second - this looks DE-LISH!
Third - Love your music, and all the pics.
Have a great week - and I bet you have lots of returning workers after that meal!
That looks delicious! Hubby hates casseroles, but this one looks too good NOT to make.
Oh my gosh, I am so in a casserole mood now!
It looks great! I love this casserole - now I am craving it. Thanks for the shout out and link back to my site. I am so glad you and the boys liked it.
I have some ground turkey that is preseasoned and can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks Kim!
