Everybody in the family liked it! I don't like sweet potatoes, but I liked it. My husband doesn't like kidney beans, but he liked it. My brother doesn't like bell pepper, but he liked it. I worried about the 1/2 tsp. of cayenned, but it was interesting, not hot. Stir the onions while cooking! - 5/4/09
