I made this tonight using the recipe at allrecipes.com. It got very mixed
reviews. Most people really seemed to love it but a few felt there wasn't
enough flavor. Some people said to add a bit of sugar or wine. Because I
had 6 ounces more smoked sausage than what was called for, I added more
veggies, more seasonings and another can of beans which were pinto because
that was all I had that didn't have other seasonings added, like cumin. I
added a couple of squirts of ketchup, thinking this would add to the flavor
and then perhaps mistakenly added a few more squirts. Perhaps I should have
added a bit of tomato sauce or paste instead. The overall end flavor was
too ketchupy I think.

Everybody ate it and nobody complained. Daughter and I felt it was okay.
Probably not something I will make again. But I had a smoked sausage that I
wanted to use up and I had quite a few cans of beans that were just sitting
there. So I thought I would give it a shot.

Oddly it was made entirely on top of the stove. And because all of the
liquids were drained off, I felt it needed a bit of a sauce. Which is why I
put in the ketchup. It did make a filling meal. I will say that.
