Used different ingredients. My husband and I both LOVED this dish - very tasty. I added two very large cloves of garlic and that was wonderful. Additionally, it was so much tastier the second day when the flavours had melded that I suggest making it the day before -if you can - and refrigerate it overnight!!! - 15 Sep 2008
LOVED THIS!! So easy to prepare, LOVE a one-pot tea. I added some chilli powder to the onions and did use quite a lot more stock and left to simmer for about an hour. My two year old really enjoyed it with some grated cheese melted over the top and it made yummy tortilla wraps for lunch the next day too - 04 Mar 2012
Loved it. Couldn't be eaiser. Used 2 green peppers since I had them for a little extra veg. May sneak even more veg in next time. 5 year old loved it too. Cooked beans from scratch. - 24 Aug 2011
