"This is almost a meal! So good, HOT, but good. This doubles and triples great. You might want to cut back on the chili peppers when doing so.You can control the heat. When you're ready to fire it up, get your ingredients ready! You can, of course, use the canned green chilies. It's great any way! If you ever get a mouthful of something too hot, don't drink water, it will just prolong the agony. Drink milk, cheese, cottage cheese, even sour cream. Ancho peppers are just dried poblano peppers. I like to mix my beans up, so I use a combination. Please be careful when children are present. Hot peppers are not made for little mouths. Times are approximate. If you're in a rush, you can certainly use canned beans. I always mix up my beans, so it's different every time!"

Bullhead City, Arizona

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05. My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him. I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me. We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here. I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more. Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact. I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
