This is a great recipe even if you are not on a diet. My daughter is a vegetarian so I make this with vegetable broth and divide it into two cake rounds and brown 1/2 pound of burger and put it on one of the pans. We have done it before without any meat, with the beans and the cheese there is enough protein anyway.

This recipe was fantastic. I made it for the first time last night. It was easy to put together and very flavorful. I added more chili powder and added some cayenne in the cornmeal in the mix and on top. I found the need to cook it longer that the recipe calls for and then turned the broiler on at the last to crisp up the cheese topping. This is a super recipe, and I plan to make it again soon.

This is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. It's so delicious and filling and, best of all, easy. I love that I can make it ahead of time and pop it in the oven when I need it. My enthusiastically carnivorous husband LOVES this dish. It instantly earned a spot in my starting rotation. How do you say "yum!" in Spanish?
