Excellent recipe - my 18 year old daughter who doesn't like chard ate this and had seconds. I made a few changes: I added the cheese at the end and left pot covered so no need to bake as recipe had suggested....I used no butter (didn't miss it), used mozzarella instead of goat cheese (still yummy), and used a 15 oz can of diced petite tomatoes instead of fresh tomato. Substantial recipe and nice textures, served it with a fish recipe and it was a good alternative to rice or potatoes with the beans.

Adjustments I made: used 6 oz. red wine in place of same amount of broth; used water because I had no broth; used only 4 cloves garlic instead of 8 and added garlic powder; used 2 T. tomato paste when sauteing onions and garlic; omitted parsley. It came out fabulous and very hearty. Used cayenne instead of red pepper flakes. NOTE: I agree with another reviewer - this made only 4 hearty servings, not 8 when used as a main dish.

I made a few changes to see if I could make do with less sugar: instead of white sugar I used 1/3 c. honey. I increased the brown sugar to 1 and 1/3 cup, and used 2 tsp. cinnamon (not one) and instead of butter I used 3/4 c. applesauce. It was moist and good.
