This recipe was delicious! So easy to make, yet the flavor was great. I doubled the recipe and put a full pound of bacon and added just a little garlic & 1 bay leaf. Definitely will make this again, the family loved it too. Thanks! :)

This was AMAZING!!! I was looking for a way to use up a whole bunch of pinto beans I had in my cupboard. I skipped the celery and carrots, and added some garlic in with the onions. This was sooo filling and sooo delicious. I had enough leftovers that I took it and shared it with my coworkers, and they all loved it too! This is a definite keeper!

great recipe--veggies & spices just right. We added peperoncini & juice when served--as we do with all beans ;)
