Native American casserole. I found this dish to be very hearty but also very tasty, almost like a spaghetti sauce minus the noodles. Native Americans in California, such as the Pomo and Miwok tribes, relied on their ample bounty of acorns when coming up with their meals. Tepary and similar beans, as well as and cactus pear pads ("nopalitos" in Spanish), have been shown to benefit blood sugar control, in both scientific research and Native American medicine.
Succotash comes from an Indian word meaning corn. Now it is a staple in many parts of North America and is also popular in South America.

In my recipe, I have used black beans. The native american pemmican recipe was designed to sustain people on long trips through fat for fuel, protein for strength, and some glucose in the berries. A woman grinds meat into a powder Warriors would take pemmican on raids, nomadic tribes would keep pemmican for traveling and winter months, and it was a survival food amongst native people. After all that's done on your casserole baking dish make sure you butter all of the sides and around and bottom add the mixture then add the American cheese which is optional.

A Native American expression, "three sisters" refers to the practice of growing beans, corn, and squash together. This filling casserole can be frozen for an upcoming party or made fresh for dinner. Native Americans, settlers, slaves, all used corn for everything from food, to soap. And one of the greatest discoveries that came from all of that, was cornbread.
