This is wonderful! I wasn't able to find diced provolone in our small town and I used cheddar,colby,jack crumbles instead. But the provolone would be even better, if possible! This is tangy with a touch of sweetness and the beans really balance it out nicely. Everyone in our family loved it. Thanks for a keeper! :)
