As written, this recipe is quite mild. But that's good because you can always add more heat! I love healthy comfort food recipes and this one's a keeper. I don't cook with dried beans very often, but I should, so as easy and as good as this is, I think it's going to be showing up on the table frequently. Thanks for posting!
