would have liked a recipe for the salsa as depending what you put in will alter taste & calorie count	Submitted by: MARSHA188 (5/30/13) report inappropriate
I selected this recipe for the fiber and cooked amaranth for quinoa. This was easy to make and we REALLY enjoyed it. There was a texture to it, that seemed like it had ground beef in it. I did not add cilantro.	Submitted by: KALISWALKER (5/28/13) report inappropriate
Don't like black beans (I must be the only one) I used Spicy no sodium Refried Beans instead and added 1 small can Ortega Chilis to spice it more. Was very good and will make again. I am not a fan of Quinoa but in this dish you really couldn't tell.	Submitted by: BEVIEG41 (3/8/13) report inappropriate
I absolutely love this recipe! I have made it more than once...I have added chipotle peppers pureed for extra flavor & spice! Last time I forgot the eggs and used a little extra cheese. I use 2% cheese instead of fat-free cheese...I'm just not fond of the fat-free stuff.	Submitted by: THEHEALTHMASTER (2/27/13) report inappropriate
Great! I spiced the quinoa as it was boiling-stirred in 1/2 t cinnamon,turmeric, salt to the water before turning down the heat,and I let the casserole cook for 45 mins to really soften the sweet potato.Next time I might microwave the sweet potato first or even mash it before assembling to bake.

When I first served this recipe, the sweet potatoes were not fully cooked, so the hubby and kids were not big fans of it. The next day, I spread out the leftovers on a cookie sheet and sprinkled it with some brown sugar then baked at 350 for about another hour - YUMMY!

Yummo! I cut the recipe in half-just two of us & we were trying it out...I will make a full batch from now on and freeze some for later! I used butternut squash instead of sweet potato saving some carbs & I used regular cheese. Mine=248 cal/33 carbs. Great comfort food mouth feel. EASY and filling!
