Terrific recipe. that said, I did make a couple of changes: Used vegetable broth instead of water and bullion and cooked in my pressure cooker for about 15 min on high. Easy simple delicious. this would be highly adaptable to seasoning s for other cuisines: greek for moussaka, Indian curry mix for samosas, meat for English shepherd's pie. etc. thanks for a great jumping off point. I'll be using this often. Thanks Judy in WA

Absolutely fantastic!! I didn't add oil to the mix and didn't really think it needed it. It was not a "stick it in the crock and forget about it" kind of recipe, though. I tended to it often, stirring and adding water so that it wouldn't stick. I'm not sure if that was a result of the lack of oil. It came out awesome, though, in about 7 hours. What a great recipe for game day tacos!

I think this would've been terrific as written, but I was short on time so I did it on the stovetop. I was short a bouillon cube so I substituted chicken stock for 1 veggie bouillon cube. (Obviously that wasn't vegetarian). If you do this stovetop it'll take about an hour and you will probably need another 1 1/2 cup to 2 cups of liquid.
