Made this tonight- it was amazing! The whole family (even the carnivores) loved it. I made it with brown rice and added in some ground flax for added health benefit. Also super filling.

I took this dish to a potluck, everyone loved it. I didn't add cheese and it still went over very well. Even with the children there. I have to say that this dish is going to be used again in my house. They color is just lovely and the smell and taste is to die for. I think that I would add more black beans next time and a little more sweet potato.

Very very good.
