    I made this with white navy beans, because that's what I had. I used low sodium taco seasoning & a mixture of cheddar & mozzarella shredded cheese. For me, this cried out for diced tomatoes, so I added a can of no salt diced tomatoes. When the cheese was melted, I dove in and, it was GREAT! - 2/9/17

    Good recipe, but needs some spice. We added smokey paprika and it was perfect! - 8/9/11

    I didn't add the beans this time but it was incredibly good anyway. It's much better than the boxed/high sodium hamburger helper! - 6/1/09
