Just made this and it was awesome. I used fresh pinto beans that I had frozen. Also I didn't have any green chilies so I drained a can of Rotel and added that instead. After I took it out of the oven I topped it with some shredded smoked bacon cheddar. What a delight. I will definitely be making this again! Thanks for the great recipe!

This was great fare for a hungry crowd that included teenage boys. I did it on the stove top, using medium grain rice. It simmered for about 30 minutes, and I checked every so often to make sure there was enough moisture. Had to add a little more water and tomato juice along the way, but that only increased the flavor! Served with corn muffins and a big green salad -- everyone loved it. I will also try baking it in the oven as specified, but probably not while it's still July and 96 degrees outside! Thanks.

I like to bake, garden, read and find sites like this on my computer. I'm an empty-nester so a lot of my cooking and baking is shared with my co-workers.
