    Sounds good! Do you know the calorie count on this, and how many it serves?

    the calorie content will vary based on particular brands you use of everything, but i did figure it up one day and i think it was around 200 calories. and it will make 12 servings.

    Ok so I figured up the calorie content based on the ingredients I personally buy... all Kroger generics. I don't know where I got 200 calories... its more like 300 calories per serving. Anyway, still not bad... its very filling and most of the calories come from the beans, corn, and rice. I have left out the rice before, which was still good... that'll save you about 50 calories per serving.
