Everyone loved it, but I revised somewhat. I added 1/2 cup jalapeño and layered like nachos also using retried beans. Delicious !! 4 stars

My family loved it. It was a bit more drippy then I thought it was going to be but it was still really good.

My whole family loved it, I made a double batch just so we could have leftovers. My kids like taking it for their lunch the next day at school and my husband for his lunch at work.
