    I was surprised at how good this was! It was very easy to make also. I had it on a whole wheat tortilla with chopped lettuce and tomato and a little reduced fat cheddar cheese. Will definitely make again! - 3/30/10

    I made this in the crock pot with brown rice. I used chili peppers (because I don't like sweet peppers), and frozen corn. It came out pretty good, but my familly likes it hot! When I make it again, I'll probably skip the cider and and use more cayenne! - 4/2/10

    I saved this recipe a while back and forgot about it. As I was digging through my bookmarks I happened across it again and made it for my wife. She is a black bean fiend and absolutely loves this recipe! I am making it for her again right now. She packs it in tupperware and takes it to work. - 1/31/15

    I would remake this recipe by using fresh corn from the cob. Leave out the oil oil and Apple Cider Vinegar. Add: some black pepper and a little garlic and top it over brown rice or on top of a vegetarian corn baked tortilla. [As I am not only a vegetarian but I am also Gluten Intollerant] - 7/14/12

    This is really tasty, and my family loves it. I like to take it to dinner parties as a different and healthy option. - 5/5/12

    This was fine. It got better when the flavors melded in the fridge the next day, on day one the cider vinegar overwhelmed the other flavors. - 12/28/11

    I loved these!! Followed the recipe exactly except added the juice of one lime. I used them as a filling for Mission Whole Wheat tortillas with a little salsa and reduced fat sour cream. Yum! - 8/3/11

    Dang, those are some spicy beans!! Although I'm a bit of a lightweight. REALLY tasty though. Might try with less corn and more beans next time. - 7/5/10

    This is great served over brown rice, though I added a little bit of salt and some chili powder. I will definitely make it again, though! - 5/26/10

    This was delicious and extremely easy to make. I had it on a tortilla for lunch and for dinner I sprinkled a bit of cheese on it and had it with some wheat crackers. I will definitely be making this one again. - 3/6/10

    I liked this and will make it again but will cut back on the cayenne. I should have heeded the advice I read on some other review about this. I like spicy food but this is a little too much for me. Otherwise, quite yummy! - 2/1/10

    Loved this! We will make it again and again. - 1/30/10

    I made this for friends (vegan and vegetarian) that came to work on our roof; it was served with brown rice and they loved it! I doubled the recipe including the cayenne and found that the longer it cooked the less spicy it became. This one is definitely added to the 'permanent' recipe box. - 8/11/09

    These were fantastic!!! I had them with the Chicken Fajitas (from this site) and together it was delicious!!! I'm going to make a casserole with the leftovers of both recipes for supper tomorrow. Thank you for submitting this! - 6/1/09

    This was really quick and easy side dish to add to my baked chicken breast. I can not wait to have the leftover for my lunch tomorrow. - 4/30/09
