I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish turned out too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of chili powder.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond milk in this recipe. It turned out just as delicious!

I made this recipe exactly as written, and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little bit of chopped cilantro for garnish.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover black beans. I always have a can or two in my pantry, and this is a delicious way to use them up.

I'm not usually a fan of black beans, but this recipe changed my mind! The coconut milk and spices really elevated the flavor of the beans. I'll definitely be making this again.

My family loved this recipe! It was so easy to make in the crock pot, and the flavors were amazing! The coconut milk gave it a creamy, rich flavor, and the black beans were perfectly tender. We'll definitely be making this again soon.
