We love one pot meals. The ingredients can be bought at the supermarket and kept at home for those nights that you need something quick and easy for supper. We have made it with all varieties of cheese and it ends up with whatever beans we have on hand. I have made a meatless version of this recipe called Southwest Skillet.
