I left the liquid in the tomatoes to simmer and just scooped it out with a slotted spoon so I wouldn't make the dish soggy. I added 2tbs of cilantro and 1/2 cup of black olives to the bean mix. It was definitely lacking a kick...next time I'll use diced tomatoes with green chilies and cut up a jalepeno. I topped with green onions and sour cream....I did not top with tomatoes since there was already some in the dish.

I have made this a few times and being a vegetarian I LOVE this dish! Its delicious and good for you! You get lots of protein with out the meat! I make it just as the recipe says but its a great recipe to make changes to and add your own little touches!

Surprisingly delicious! As I was making this I had my doubts, but it's really very good. Don't know what kind of "chopped green pepper" the recipe is referring to, but I used red bell pepper (because I didn't have green). The bell pepper adds a lot to the texture and flavor. I added sliced olives to the top before cooking, and used 12 tortillas (6 per layer) instead of 8. My husband loved this. Will definitely make it again.

I was looking for a specific recipe that my sister had made and this was the closest I could find so I did change some of the ingredients (I don't usually). I used only 1 onion, only 1 can of black beans and added 1 can of corn. I browned 1 1/2 lbs. ground turkey w/the onion and didn't put any black olives (don't like them). The flavors were great. Everyone really liked it (1 son ate about 1/3 of the pan!) I'll make this again when we need a change of pace from some of our usual dinners.

This is outstanding! My family loved it. I had to add thawed frozen corn because I only had one can of beans but it is a great meal I can make right out of the cupboard. Thanks

This is definitely becoming part of my regular rotation. Followed the recipe the first time and thought it need a bit more heat. Made with Rotel the second time-perfect!

Very average. Might have been better with another layer of tortillas, or to eat with chips.

I made this as an alternative to black bean tacos & it worked out really well. I started with dry black beans & cooked them in a pressure cooker to avoid mushy beans after baking, and used a thick salsa instead of picante sauce. I also replaced half of the reduced fat Mex-blend cheese with Cabot 75% reduced fat cheddar to make it just a wee bit more low-cal-diet-friendly, and used whole wheat tortillas. Turned out great - will probably add some chili powder and/or canned chilli peppers next time.

I followed this recipe pretty close, but added a little bit of chopped cooked boneless chicken breasts. Used regular cheddar instead of low-fat. It was so easy, and my husband says it is his absolutely favorite of any dish I've ever made! I cook a lot, so was shocked. I really enjoyed as well. Too spicy for the kids, but I think it would be easy to make a more bland version at the same time.
