Very easy to make, but lacks flavor when following the recipe. I added wild rice, extra chili powder, garlic, pepper to taste. With the added flavor the cassarole is great! I strongly recommend tasting before putting the cassarole in the oven to check for flavor.

I absolutely love the recipe! I'm a vegetarian, so I use tofu instead of chicken, then serve it over a bed of rice. Just delicious!!

Just made this last night and my family loved it. Didn't have kidney beans, so I doubled up on the black beans. Will be making this again and again!

I made this for dinner tonight for my husband and I and we both really liked it! I only made a couple of changes- I only had one chicken breast out, so I add a few strips of bacon to the pan as I cooked the onion and celery and omitted the oil. I also didn't have kidney beans, so I used great northern beans instead. Very easy, quick and delicious!

Made this tonight for dinner and it is delicious! I added a small can of mushrooms and cut the chili powder back a little (we aren't real crazy about very spicy foods) and it is really delicious! Hope you try it and like it as much as we did. Recipe is a keeper!

This was great. I had to substitute pinto beans for the black beans but will make it again.

Hubby and I loved this Dish. Since we are both low-carbing I left out the kidney and black beans and added a small bag of frozen cauliflower, it was delish.

Very good, and extremely simple to make. For those who measure portions, it's a very good sized serving.
