A great one dish dinner with lots of flavor. Serve with a salad, corn chips and salsa . . . dinner in minutes! I've even used left-over Recipe #253261 as the filling and it turned out great!

The vegetarian bean base of this pie was awesome. Great flavor and spicy. Just alone, it would make a really great bean chili. However, I found the cornbread-like crust a little too dry. Maybe next time I will either cut down on the ww flour or maybe just top the pie with a cheesy polenta spread (and include the canned green chili.) But all in all, great recipe. Thanks!
