    Very good and loaded with protein and fiber. Easy to make with lots of leftovers to feed on all week. - 4/22/09

    This is amazing! Great Flavor and very easy recipe! Low calorie and sodium plus high fiber and protein! The only thing I would suggest is if you don't like hot spicy food DO NOT add a full TBSP of Cayenne Pepper. My poor father couldn't handle the strong bite. I will make this again with less pepper - 11/28/14

    This came out very yummy. I forgot the sausage, but cut up any ham chunks. I split it into a lot of portions, and enjoy it for lunches on a grab-n-go enjoyment. I would make again! - 4/13/12

    All dried beans need to be soaked overnight in water, then you drain the soaking water and use the beans in you recipe following whatever liquids the recipe calls for...You can also rehydrate beans by boiling them with just enough water to cover by 1/2 inch, and let sit 1 hour...dry beans=less salt! - 11/30/10

    I'm confused because the ingredients say "dry beans" and yet the directions say to cover with soaked beans... - 4/27/09
