I liked this recipe. After reading the reviews (and before making it) I made some adjustments. 1. I had already cooked the beans with loads of garlic...to be used for another recipe...so I left out the garlic. 2. Used red onion and minced it finely. 3. Cut back on the butter by half. 4. Added extra peppers. 5. Doubled the amount of green chilies. 6. Added the chipotle sauce. The cheese made serving a stringy affair. My kids thought it was added for entertainment. Go figure.
