Very tasty! Didn't have V8 juice so I used a can of condensed tomato soup and added water and that worked just fine. I also didn't have corn chips so we used tortilla chips. The cream cheese really takes this dish to another level. A tasty meal!

This recipe was easy to make, uses ingredients that are readily available and tastes delicious! I subbed pinto beans for kidney beans because that's what I had and I doubled the garlic, which is usual for me. I loved the cream cheese in it as it gave it a delicious creamy flavor. I topped it with crushed tostitos and sharp cheddar cheese. I highly recommend this recipe! Thanks for sharing it Parsley!

Delicious and filling. I added veggie broth to thin it a bit and then forgot to top it with cheese before serving, but nobody missed it. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
