"My wife, Jennie, is a wonderful cook who's generally skeptical about my kitchen experiments. But she likes this recipe well enough to give me temporary kitchen privileges...and even encouraged me to enter this contest! If you can't find the soup called for here, nacho or cheese soup make easy substitutes," suggests Mike Kirschbaum in Cary, North Carolina.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure it would be great for people who like a little heat. Otherwise, it was a delicious and easy meal to make.

I made this dish last night and it was so easy and delicious! I used black beans instead of pinto beans, and added a bit of extra chili powder for some extra heat. It was a great weeknight meal.
