I doubled this recipe: used a 26 oz. box of chopped tomatoes and a jar of organic salsa, two cans of chili beans, one can of black beans, and one can of garbanzo beans (which added a nice bit of crunch). Also used chunky peanut butter because that's all I had on hand. I was pleased with the result. The peanut flavor was not overpowering as I feared it might be. I might tweak the recipe in the future, but all in all, this was really good and I will make it again.
