Really good beans! I replaced the oil with butter, used lime flavored beer, and home made chicken stock. We needed to add a bit of salt at the end, but that's personal taste, and not a reflection on the recipe. I also added some crumbled queso freso cheese over the finished dish, which we really liked. A good, basic, easy recipe that will be made again. Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT5 by one of the Cooks with Dirty Faces.

Live 1 hour north of Sydney, Australia with my husband, Steve. We both work in Sydney, where I work in the Human Resources department of a charity doing IT work.
I barely pick up cookbooks these days, as I cook almost exclusively out of Recipezaar - DH loves the quality & variety of recipes we have now.
I've met some lovely people through Zaar in person & in the forums. When I was in Toronto, Canada in October 2007, I had the thrill of meeting & having dinner with ~Leslie~, AnnieCan and Irmagard and their DHs for dinner. This was a fabulous night & everyone was so lovely & welcoming.
