Almost halved this recipe, then didn't & froze half of it instead! Followed the recipe except for one thing ~ Was pretty sure that 1/4 cup of chili powder would ROYALLY do me in, so I changed that to about 1 1/2 tablespoons, which was STILL plenty! Very satisfying, served up with a heavy, whole wheat bread! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's Pick-A-Chef]
