Very much enjoyed this - it was lovely and very filling. If I was to make knowing I was going to reheat, I'd mix the beans in with the rest of the mixture as the beans on the top were dry after reheating. Also, was fantastic as it was but I think I may try using more peppers (red, green and yellow as well as more in quantity) and perhaps some jalepenos to give it a kick. All of these are just thoughts, though - as I said it was fantastic as per the recipe.

My very picky husband loved it and a few friends have asked for the recipe, for a non-cook like me that was a huge compliment!
