Great recipe. I used fresh tomatoes and garlic. We ate this chili mac style with whole wheat elbows and some shredded cheese.

Delicious!!! I cut it in half, added a can of corn and added chopped carrots that I needed to use up. I tasted it after 3 hours and it was very spicy so we waited to eat it the next day and it had mellowed out just perfectly. It made so much, half went into the freezer stash. YUM!

This was very good. I didn't have great northerns on hand, so I used black beans. We have a vegetarian in the family, sothis is perfect because even the meat eaters loved it!

I loved it! I have to admit that I did not use only the vegetables that are mentioned in the recipe. I put anything that was about to go off into the pot. Everytime I make this this I still do it that way. Still it turns out wonderful everytime. Yum, Yum, Yum.

We liked this, however, was expecting it to be a little more like "chili".
