Loved this recipe. I added a jalepeno pepper, red pepper flakes and cumin for some kick. So good! Will definately make again.

This is a good, basic recipe. I added some chopped onion, chili powder and cumin powder. Various spices, vegetables and beans could be used. Guacamole, salsa and sour cream would also be great on top. Whatever you have available, this recipe will turn out great!

I added shredded chicken to this & bam! So good, and sometimes instead of cheese I add light sour cream to my serving. It's like a burrito in a bowl. Served with a side of chips if you like. YUM YUM

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 liked it but I thought it was kinda plain.

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!
