I really like the concept and the ease of preparation, but feel these need more seasoning. I tried one with drained salsa added to the vegetable mixture and that was an improvement.

My version was ***** but I made a few changes inspired by the comments of others. I started by sauteeing 1 garlic and 1/2 chopped onion in olive oil, then I added rinsed beans (reserved about a cup for later), the salsa (Herdez brand), cumin, and chicken stock (didn't have veggie). Once hot, used the immersion blender and then added back remaining beans. Final touches were chopped green onion and cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime. Amazing, and very fast. Good with sour cream but a little cheddar on top was also a nice addition. It is a bonus that most of the ingredients are easy to keep on hand in the pantry.

I was just reminded of this Hershey's recipe when searching the site for a quick dessert. I have it in my own recipe file but hadn't made it in a long time. I made a couple of changes this time: used buttermilk (because I had it on hand) and baked in a 13X9 pan for about 40 minutes. Wonderful, no frosting required. Served with sliced berries and vanilla ice cream. Guests enjoyed it and had no clue how easy it was. This is a keeper.
