This recipe has great promise, but as is didn't deliver. I cooked the beans on both high and low to equal the recipe, but they were still a bit hard. They were kind of watery, maybe some tomato paste added would smooth it out and thicken them up. The mozzarella cheese was a big problem, just glumped up on the spoon as I was stirring it in. I've found that mozzarella does that, and that monterey jack will taste very similar, but will not glump up together, so I would try jack cheese instead, and more than a cup. Oh, and this made WAAAAAAYYYYYY more than six servings - more like 12-15 3/4 cup servings.
