    I just made this recipe, albeit with a few changes. I didn't have everything listed so I added curry powder, chili powder and some cumin to the saute. I then added some canned beans and put the whole thing into a pie pan, topped with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and covered with garlic roasted mashed potatoes. Smells wonderful and I'll let you know how my kids enjoyed it this evening.

    Made for St Pats and it was better than I expected.

    Substituted Cheddar for the cheese.
    For spices, added oregano and cumin.
    Only used 1 fresh tomato, no canned or puree.
    Used 1 can of black beans.

    I just tried to make this. I had to make some substitutions and I didn't have enough potatoes. But it's cooking at the moment, and I'll let you know how it turns out.

    ETA: I made so many substitutions that it barely resembled your recipe. However, it was still delicious. Thanks for the starting recipe ;)

    This is cooling in my oven RIGHT NOW. I used fresh-chopped tomatoes instead of canned, soymilk in the mashed potatoes and I didn't use any tomato puree. It smells delicious. I'll let you know how it turns out!

    Found this recipe online and just made it for my boyfriend and his workmates (one is a vegetarian). They loved it! I couldn't find mixed beans so I used kidney beans which were just as good. Thanks for the recipe.

    The fussy hubby is still talking about it 3days later. I put bacon pieces in his half so he wouldn't whinge and he loved it. (So did I) Thanks.
