Mmm, mmm good, Melissa! I decreased the measurements by 1/2, except for the garlic which we all love here. I'd suggest adding salt to taste. Some of my family added sour cream and shredded cheddar to the top too. I loved the simplicity of pulling this together, plus it's healthy! Now... to hide the leftovers for my lunch tomorrow! MERP'd for Fall 09 Pick A Chef.

This is super tasty! My dad ate three bowls of it the first time I made it, and now he asks me to make it almost every week. I'm personally not a big fan of black beans, but even I liked it. Great recipe Mamma Bug!

This is awesome! My kids are hooked on Mexican Dishes and this is One to keep. It is easy and you can add toppings like sour cream and shredded cheese.

I'm a mother of 3 and a part time neonatologist. I love cooking for my family. Nothing beats hearing them say, "WOW! This is delisious!". I'm not much of a baker, I can never get homemade muffins or cakes just right, but the box stuff never fails me! I love making dinners and appetizers, entertaining with food is one of my favorite things to do. I love Cook's Illustrated Magazine and their cook books, especially the Perfect Vegetables!! Thanks to all the Recipe Zaar members who have shared their recipes and have helped us make some very memorable evenings around the dinner table!
