I just had it for dinner and it was better than I thought. I used kidney beans instead of Black eyed peas. It had a lot of flavor! I still have three leftover servings for the next few days. I would definatley make this again.

I liked this one, it made a great side to my spinach enchiladas. I always change or substitute things in my dishes, this one allows many possiblities!

I used pre-cooked brown rice instead of instant, and I added tofu. This was really delicious, and very filing. I printed a copy of the recipe and it went into my collection.
