Pour the blender contents over the top, cover tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle with cheese. Bake another 20-30 minutes until everything is bubbly and tender.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a green salad.
Also, this is another dish that is fabulous topped with a spoonful of chimichurri. Not familar with chimichurri? You are missing out. Just this week we have used it on fried polenta, scrambled egg tacos, and tomato wedges. It makes a great spread for a cheese sandwich and would be great in a pita pocket.
