    This was so good. Never had black beans before, but prepared this way I will be eating them often. I used mild salsa instead of Rotel, and also sprinkled chedder cheese on top. Thanks for the great recipe it was yummy!! - 1/24/11

    I had leftover rice, so I was able to make this VERY quickly! I didn't have any Rotel, so I used salsa. And I also added cheese. It was very good, and now I have three more lunch servings for a fast meal on busy days. - 2/22/15
