I'm so glad I found this recipe! I was skeptical at first, but you're absolutely right; we didn't even miss the meat! Made as directed except I left out the mushrooms because they didn't look good at the store. We'll try them next time. Tonight I served with a green salad & cracked wheat sourdough rolls, spread with a garlic butter mixture & broiled. With ingredients that are always on hand & not requiring meat, this is a definite go-to recipe for late nights or when nothing is thawed. :) Thanks for sharing, Gapeach! Made for Adopt-A-Tag Fall 2009. -
I've had my eye on this recipe for awhile and am SO glad I got around to making it! I made a few minor changes in my prep. I sauteed the onion, peppers (orange and green) first, adding the garlic at the end. I sauteed the mushrooms separately since I am the only "mushroom lover" in my family. I served the veggies on top of the black bean mixture instead of mixing in with the bean mixture (in case the veggies didn't go over with my son!). I grated some feta on top instead of parmesan. We all loved this dish and will be making it often. Everything combined was a wonderful taste sensation and beautiful to the eyes. Thanks Gapeach. Your child is showing some great food taste!

I am a stay-at-home mom who loves to try out new recipes. They're like science experiments! My little boy is incredibly picky, so I'm constantly trying to find something he will eat. My all time favorite cookbook is "The Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook" but I prefer Recipezaar a billion times over that!
