Made for "Australia/NZ Swap #20" Was truly disappointed with the final result. All ingredients are top notch, but something was lacking. I reduced recipe to 4 servings, using 1 pound of beans, and possibly the reduction of other ingredients was not in proportion, but there was very little taste. Added S&P at the table, with little change. I expected this to be much fresher and brighter than the bean and mushroom soup casserole, but unable to determine how to "spice it up". So sorry, pollyw - I will try again if you have a suggestion.
