Just had to make these again because the sauce is so unique and delicious, but the texture of the finished product was not. Divided the sauce by three and made different configurations of this recipe 1)with beans and cheese as written, 2)with beans and extra cheese, and 3)with some cooked ground beef simmered in the sauce and bean mixture and cheese sprinkled on top. Adding extra cheese or meat really made these "feel better" in the mouth and this time there were no leftovers. Thanks for a great sauce recipe that we will use again.
