CONS

This casserole is not particularly healthy, as it contains a lot of cheese and is heavy in carbohydrates.
It should be enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of your diet.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While this casserole is not the healthiest dish, it does have some redeeming qualities. The beans provide a good source of protein and fiber, which can aid in digestion and help you feel fuller for longer. Additionally, the tomatoes in the rotel contain lycopene, a potent antioxidant that has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer and heart disease.
