Introduction

I don't remember where I found this recipe originally but I've made a bunch of changes to it each time I've made it. It's been spiced it up a bit by adding the RoTel. I also added the black beans for some added protein and fiber. I don't remember where I found this recipe originally but I've made a bunch of changes to it each time I've made it.
