This was wonderful! I'm not a vegetarian, but wow, this was good. I can't eat much of it though with low blood sugar issues... too many carbs for me, but my mouth waters sitting down to even a little bit of it. I changed a couple things: used fresh tomatoes instead of canned, and canned beans, not draining them. Also, I excluded the cheese altogether and then when served, added sour cream, a few fresh tomatoes and avocado. Voila! Yummy. My hubby is SO not a vegetarian and so I put cooked sausage in it for him and he loved it :)

This is really good served with sour cream at the table. I was skeptical about only cooking the beans for 2 hours and little amount of liquid. I will try this again, but cook longer, even the onions still had some crunch to them and I do not usually expect that with this type of recipe. The flavor was really good though, so I just think it needs to be tweaked in terms of liquid amount and time.

Very good taste, thick like chili. I also used canned (two) blacked eye peas, and did not drain them, the tomatoes, or the corn. I also sprinkled the cheese on top before serving instead of mixing it in, and used a little sour cream at the table. My husband really liked it, even though he is skeptical of vegetarian dishes! A word to future cooks: I was scared by 1/4 cup of chili powder. I started with 1/8 cup, but it was a little bland, so I added more.

Yummy, fresh-tasting, and simple. I used a large can of black-eyed peas (rinsed to eliminate some of the salt, etc), didn't drain tomotoes or creamed corn, and the consistency was fine. Thanks for a simple, meatless recipe with protein!

I thought that this recipe was good. Not fantastic, but a good meal. I didn't put the rice in, makes it more like a stew.

Do not use the dry variety beans. Must use canned beans or it turns out too dry. do not drain tomatoes or corn. Other than that a great fast and easy dish.

This recipe is missing the liquids needed to cook dried beans. You need at least 2 1/2 cups of liquid for 1 cup of beans. I didn't drain the corn and added 2 cups of veg broth and 2 cups of water. I topped with grated cheddar. It turned out like a cousin of chili.
