    This was so good. Never had black beans before, but prepared this way I will be eating them often. I used mild salsa instead of Rotel, and also sprinkled chedder cheese on top. Thanks for the great recipe it was yummy!! - 1/24/11

    This is a great, easy recipe, but the Rotel was too spicy for my family. I may try using mild salsa instead... - 2/1/10

    TOOK THE RECIPE AND ADAPTED IT TO WHAT I HAD -- BLACK, BEANS, CORN, GREEN/YELLOW PEPPERS, CILANTRO, GARLIC, SAUTEED IT IN A LITTLE EVOO AND IT WAS YUMMY!!! THANKS FOR THE BASIC RECIPE TO GIVE ME THE IDEA. ALSO I RINSE THE CANNED BEANS AND CORN TO GET RID OF SOME OF THE SALT. ADDED LEFTOVER CHIX. - 4/11/09

    I have tried using packaged black beans and cooking them according to the package in place of canned beans to eliminate the sodium content. Great meal i must say! - 4/7/09
