This skillet supper is terrific for a cold or rainy day. It’s easy, comforting and really fills the tummy. Sometimes I switch up pinto beans for kidney beans, or white rice for brown. Add rolls and a green salad, and it’s dinner! —Lorraine Caland, Thunder Bay, Ontario

This was good. Added the tomatoes with chilis and 1lb of smoked sausage cut into small pieces.

This was a great recipe to use up my miscellaneous vegetables and canned goods. You can't really go wrong. Adjust the herbs and seasoning to your liking and don't forget to add fresh ginger, yum!

This was a great dish, and I'm so glad I have leftovers for tomorrow! Wouldn't change a thing in the recipe.

Yum! Perfect healthy comfort food. I didn't have celery, green onions, or sour cream and it was still awesome. I did add extra spices, cumin and oregano, and half of a taco seasoning packet. I will use tomatoes w/ green chiles next time. Can't wait for leftovers.

My husband and I loved this quick and easy dish! I will definitely be making this again.

This was a big hit! I don't think my husband even realized it was meatless. The only small change I made was using canned tomatoes with green chiles which gave it an extra zing. Delicious and hearty.

I used brown rice, tomatoes w/ green chiles and added extra beans. I also added some oregano and cumin and it was amazing! I used it as a dip, rolled it in a tortilla and put an egg and salsa on top of it as well. What an awesome and versatile dish.
