    Flavor wasn't bad, though I did need to add more spices to kick it up. Watch out on the cooking time. Actual time (and liquid needed) varies based on your particular beans. The bag recommended a 2:1 water to bean ration & 15 min to cook. Mine turned out soupy, slightly mushy, but still good. - 9/12/09

    Fantastic! I made it without the peppers (alergic) and they came out super yummy! One thing, the took more like 30-35 minutes to cook. - 2/13/09
