• This is missing one huge key ingredient. I managed a restaurant 10 years ago that this was our specialty. You have to add Monterey jack cheese. Lots of it. And let it simmer on the lowest setting for the last 10 minutes. It was the make or break item to this dish.

• I've made this for years, but I use 2 cans of Great Northern Beans so I don't have to soak them overnight. Additionally, I add 1/2 Cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup whipping cream at the very end. It's easy to make and it's one of our family favorites.
