Very good! I made it the stove-top way, too. For me, though, I could have cut the recipe in half. It made a large amount for one person. Enchilada filling! YAY! - 1/8/08

I've made something like this, but I like black beans instead of butter beans. Seeing this reminds me I need to make some for my lunches. Bonus, this receipe fits my frugality sensibilities because all of the ingredients are easy to get and cheap. - 11/29/07

Really good, though i skipped the crock pot, made the rice separately and added it in so it only took me 45 min (mostly while the rice cooked) to make. Yum! I didn't add in the canned tomatoes though, i cut up fresh ones and puree'd them and added in fresh chilis as well. Added in onion too, pepper - 10/11/07
