    Pretty good recipe - I think I would prefer it with less liquid so I will amend that next time. I also used low sodium black beans and extra garlic. Will make again! - 6/16/08

    I am definitely going to make this, but noticed the above 700 sodium! Hmmm, I think leaving out the bacon flavoring will help? - 6/10/08
