A very nice recipe. Easy to make. Can handle variations. HOWEVER, the calorie count is WAY off. Black beans are only 210 calories per 30 ounces, not 1122.7 as shown in the detailed nutrition facts. Soft bread crumbs are 120 per cup, not 213.3. Please correct this! This is especially good with a few drops of liquid smoke mixed in. Serve with pickles, lettuce and barbecue sauce. Very filling, regardless.
