Expert Tips

Tomatoes and tomato products keep dry beans and other legumes from softening even after hours of cooking. That's why we wait until the beans and lentils are tender before adding the canned tomatoes and tomato sauce in this recipe.

Add corn muffins from the bakery to round out this make-ahead meal.

    Absolutely delicious. Made this for the first time for a family gathering, and then again the following week it was so good. Didn't miss the meat at all. Added a chopped onion and some cumin to the recipe as stated. Topped with shredded cheddar, more chopped onion, sour cream and oyster crackers. Yum.

    This recipe is really good and has loads of flavor! I added a small chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. I will definitely make this again and might try adding the ground beef next time as one poster has said.
