I love this recipe and make it often. I use chick peas in place of the beans, just because I love them. Thanks for sharing!

It's excellent even re-heated. For you Weight Watchers it's low points.

It's easy, and it's quick and it tastes great. I top it parmesan that's been shredded on the large holes of a grater, to have it pack more of a punch. I serve it garlic bread or popovers, and a salad.
