It was just a bit too bland for me. The flavor seemed to wash out for some reason. I added about 2 Tbsp of Durkee Garden seasoning, chili powder and some 7 pepper seasoning. It just didn't pick up the seasoning right. Husband liked it. I rated it ok. Next time I might try putting in butter beans in place of the Navy for a bit richer taste and putting in some of Miller's Thermonuclear seasoning. That might work.
