Typically, I make a recipe as written the first time I make it. However, after reading the reviews, I took into consideration all the suggestions and made some changes. First, I chose Muir Glen Organic Diced Fire Roasted Tomatoes with Serranos; this brand is *amazing* and never fails to enhance anything I use it in. Second, I added a can of Green Giant white corn with serranos. I used a cornbread mix for the top (Gene Autrey mix, because it doesn't have sugar in it). I also added cumin as suggested. This was seriously good; my hubby had seconds! He ate his with sour cream and asked if I'd add black olives next time, which I will. I will also switch to black beans as we all prefer them to kidneys (unless of course we're having redbeans and rice). I'll definitely be making this again.
