I am going to have to remember this recipe when I need to cook for an army! I know it said eight servings, but man this made a ton of food! Overall, we really enjoyed this recipe. I didn't mash up the beans this time, but I might try doing that next time just to see the difference. It was a great combination of flavors and could be considered relatively healthy with all the veggies. We used reduced fat cheese and that seemed to work well. I will remember this recipe next time I need to cook for a large group. Thanks for submitting.
