Notes

Adjust spice by adding more buffalo sauce or reducing it for a milder flavor.Rotisserie chicken can be used for quicker preparation—add during the last hour.For lower-carb variation, omit beans and add extra vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.Smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky depth.To thicken, cook uncovered for the last 20–30 minutes or mash some beans.
