      Hey!
      So the serving size is about 1.5 Cups of the finished dish.
      This can serve 4 moderately hungry people or 3 very hungry people.

    This was AMAZING! I left out the corn, but added fresh garlic and fresh chopped onion. I doubled the recipe and used one can of black beans and one can of pinto. All 3 of my kids ate it up! One of my kids has a dairy allergy and this recipe let us add our cheese and her add hers by just not adding the cheese at the end and adding it to our own bowls.
    This will be repeated at our house! Thank you! 👍😁

      Brown rice needs to be cooked for 18-20 minutes which will essentially over cook the vegetables to an extent.If thats okay with you, then yes, you can make it with brown rice.

    It was okay. The boys liked it. I think I will try some enchilada sauce next time. And, more cheese!
