I give this three stars because it is a great potluck recipe...simple, cheap and people seem to really like it, but for my personal taste I think its just blah. It's smells just heavenly while it's baking, but the flavor (or lack of) is just disappointing. I would not make this for a family meal, but it's a failsafe recipe for potlucks, as people just scarf it up...go figure.

This is a pale imitation of Brazilian black bean soup (feijoada), and its kind of expecting steak and getting a McDonalds hamburger instead. It's not really HORRIBLE, but it ain't that great either. I thought it was too salty, kind of gloppy and the orange juice was overpowering in it, rather than accenting it. I would NOT make this again.

MUY FABULOSO! Very good, simple and filling recipe. Perfect for a busy weeknight when you're low on time.
