Not worth the amount of effort required. The feta cheese seemed out of place and the topping was dry and bland.
Southwestern Succotash Pot Pie
Ancho chile powder gives this casserole a mild, slightly fruity chile flavor. Most supermarkets now carry ancho chile powder, but if you can't find it, substitute regular chili powder. Make and refrigerate the filling up to a day ahead. Serve a colorful coleslaw on the side.

Preparation
- To prepare succotash, heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the onion; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and jalapeño; sauté 30 seconds. Add zucchini; sauté 5 minutes or until zucchini is crisp-tender. Stir in corn; sauté 5 minutes or until corn is crisp-tender. Remove from heat; stir in chile powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Combine the zucchini mixture, cheese, and beans in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- To prepare topping, lightly spoon the flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, baking powder, oregano, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine milk and yogurt; add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto zucchini mixture. Brush beaten egg over topping. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until topping is golden.
