Chili-Cheese Potato Casserole

Tonight I made up a new dinner that was super easy to do, and I really liked it. I decided to call it:

Chili-Cheese Potato Casserole

8 small-to-medium potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt to taste
1 can chili beans
1 cup grated (mozzarella) cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes and cut into 1" (or so) cubes. Place in a casserole dish or 9"x13" pan and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and stir around to distribute the oil. Do not cover the dish. Place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes, until potatoes are mostly tender when poked with a fork. Add the chili beans and stir to mix. Return to oven and bake another 10 minutes or so. Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake 5 more minutes.

We served it with some sides of carrot sticks, apple sauce, and a slice of bread.
