Made this as a topper to serve with my beef nachos. It was good and not spicy like it is called. But, it's a keeper!

My husband, son and I loved it! I did not add the cheese to keep it healthier.

I did not have green peppers or minced garlic. I used fire roasted tomatoes & onions. Then I added a small pinch of red pepper flakes to give it some spice. This dish was not too bad. Easy to make with on hand items.

I added another can of beans at the recommendation of previous posters, but I feel that this meal could have been spicier. I will definitely add more heat next time.

I agree with another poster that more beans makes it more of a meal...but great meal!

Needs a second can of beans for my taste, but it's great either way!

We loved it as a family. It was quick, and affordable to make. We added some ham cubes into it and very little salt. Other then that I did excatly what it called for and will make it again.

The first time I made this there was not a lot of flavor. I altered the recipe (did not use the green chiles or cilantro and added onions & cayenne pepper) and my husband loved it. I also used a 4-blend cheese. I tried topping it with salsa but my husband wasn't too thrilled although I liked it.
