Fed this dish to my husband, who thinks if it isn't a greasy hamburger, don't bother, and my two children. My husband liked it. It is very filling. Unfortunately, I overlooked the butter bean ingredient when making my shopping list and had to substitute with pinto beans but it worked out fine. Couple things I'll do differently next time: cut the bell peppers into smaller pieces (maybe half inch squares) and replace the whole tomatoes with diced (two people in my family don't like big chunks of tomatoes and they didn't break down as I had hoped while cooking). I was a little concerned that there was no salt in the ingredient list but after tasting I realized none was needed. Took me a bit longer than 15 min to prep, but I expect that to speed up as I get used to the recipe. Leftovers reheat well.
