    This was delicious! The veggies were still a little bit crunchy, but that helped with the texture! We will definitely make this again, especially experimenting with more/different veggies! - 12/13/10

    I can't wait to try this--its in the oven right now. The BF prefers meat in his dinner, so I threw in a pound of lean turkey breast and layered pepper jack slices on the bottom and top of the casserole dish. This probably added a little more calories than I'd usually do, but we'll see! - 11/4/10

    This was delish! We didn't have any pepper jack, so we used cheddar instead. It was still great! The veggies were a little crunchy for my taste, so next time I think I might saute them for a few minutes before adding them to the casserole. - 10/18/09

    This was super easy and very good. I made it the first time as described and then altered it to make for Vegan friends. Replaced Sour cream and cheese with half a block of crumbled tofu and 3 slices vegan chesed torn into bits (that's what I had) punched it up with a minced fresh hot pepper. - 9/13/09

    This was very very tasty. I made my own black beans, but instead of adding broth I added some salsa (and chopped up jalapenos for some spiciness). - 7/25/09
