Family and friends love this recipe. I use three power foods: tomatoes, black beans and olive oil, plus whole wheat pasta. It's comfort food to feel good about! —Krissy Black, Mt. Vernon, Ohio

Really enjoyed this and will make again! It's different. All common ingredients I already had, but you can make substitutions easily and still comes out great. Leftovers won't last long this time.

Absolutely wonderful! I added a little Velveeta once everything was combined to make it good and creamy (about 1/4 pound), and also used pinto beans instead. Definitely a keeper!

Try it with pinto beans and it's even better.

Very tasty! I doubled it and froze some for later (without the pasta). Reminder * Use gloves/plastic bags when cutting jalapenos. I forgot and paid for it shortly after!~ Theresa

So delicious! I used Ro-Tel tomatoes with chilies in place of the jalapenos diced tomatoes, just because I had some in the pantry. And I doubled the tomato sauce on the advice of other reviews. This is definitely going into the cold-weather rotation!

Made this for my church home group and they loved it. Just enough kick! I served it with sour cream and cheese on top! Quick and easy.

I think I would do everything the same and try rice mixed in instead of the macaroni!

Very good. Didn't put hot sauce and used green chilis on hand instead of jalapeño and was great!
