    Since seeing this recipe in the magazine, it has become one of our favourite weekday dinners. It's very easy to make and is real comfort food. I serve it with salad, guacamole, sour cream and jalapenos. Sometimes I add finely chopped red pepper to the black bean mix.

    Tasty. Just used normal chopped tomatoes and added Worcestershire sauce and brown sauce, may also add tobacco next time. I served with corn on the cob.

    I substituted the beans for 700g steak mince and added a chopped onion. Served with salad, mexican dips and jalepenos. Very easy to make and great taste. Winner!

    Excellent meal has become a weekday treat. We use pizza cheese from the supermarket, (mix of cheddar and mozzarella) and just divide between layers. Have also used all types if beans as never just black beans available, aduki/borlotti/cannellini etc but small beans work best. Also add chilli powder rather than buy chilli tomatoes. So lovely and freezes well. Have also been known to add half a packet of cream cheese in blobs on the top with the remainder of cheese for a man v foodesque style dinner :-))
