This was just ok for me. It wasn't "bad" by any stretch. I served this at a football party, and everyone tasted it, but I noticed everyone went for all the other dips and appetizers when going back for seconds (and thirds), and left this dip alone after one taste. I'm sure using crab instead of shrimp would have helped or maybe a combination, but nothing about it made me or anyone else say "wow I want more." It was just ok.

These beans are fantastic! I omit the bell pepper because my boyfriend doesn't care for it, and I sometimes add a little more spice just because we love it like that. My girlfriend's 9-year-old picky eater daughter ate bowl after bowl. I love how easy this is too...just throw everything in your dutch oven, and into the oven it goes!

This is a really good dish. My boyfriend loved it and I took leftovers to work the next day for my staff and we scarfed it down for lunch. Agreably it would make a good dip as it looks great when it comes out of the oven but as soon as I started to dish it out it was pretty sloppy. We didn't really care, it tasted good. However, WHEN I make this again, I will decrease the sour cream and possibly the chicken soup amount to help make it less "soupy" of a mixture. I also used black beans and corn tortillas instead of the recipe directions, and a little corn I had left over in the freezer. I seasoned up the chicken with things I had in my cabinet (chili powder, cumin, emeril's southwest, red pepper, etc) until I had the taste I wanted. I'll defintely make this again...it was easy and tasty!
