I used canned beans and it was very good. I might add corn next time for added texture.

I used canned beans(3 1/2 cups) instead. I also substituted basically for oregano and I did not put green chili in it, I also used for mini red peppers instead of the bell. I thought it tasted good and will make it again.

I have used this recipe twice now. Most of the young people said they don't eat chili when we started. Preparation was fun for them and they loved it. Not a drop was left over.
