Cooking Notes
I have made many an NY TImes recipe, but this one stands out. I made it pretty much by the book, substituting canned beans for re-constituted dry beans. The canned chili peppers and canned tomatoes were fantastic. I used venison and also added some cooked chicken and sausage I had from other recipes. I think pretty much any meat would do just fine.
