Mystery Taco casserole

Ok. So I don't exactly know what to call this recipe....it's got lots of stuff in it that sound strange but the whole family really liked it...even Jake and he is picky.

Ingredients:
1/2 -3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 small onion chopped. (Saute' these until onions are clear in a little water and then drain.)

In bowl: 1 small can cream of mushroom soup (can use low fat)
green pepper/onion mixture
1 cup salsa (your choice on "heat")
2 cups shredded chicken (or 1 can chunk chicken)
1 can whole kernal corn drained
1 can black beans rinsed and drained

After mixed add 1 package of taco shells broken up (the recipe called for small corn tortillas, but our store did not have any). I used the 12 portion hard taco shells and it worked fine, crumbled up into smaller pieces.

When wet mixture is done, put one layer of it in a greased casserole and sprinkle with 1/2 of an 8 oz bag of your favorite cheese. I used colby/jack but I'm sure it would be great with any cheese (pepper jack, cheddar, etc)
Repeat layers. Bake or microwave until cheese is bubbly. I think the oven temp is supposed to be 350, but I used the microwave for 12
minutes and it was great.

Serve warm.
