Man, I love this stuff! We've had it before, but it's pretty much just a summer thing. Tonight was the first time we've had it this year. Oh man, it's good! Even anti-kidney bean dh likes it. The kids aren't all that crazy about the cabbage part, but they compromised and ate all the beans in their portions. Since there are quite a lot of beans to it, it was a fair trade. ;) It's pretty near perfect on its own, so I don't really make too many subs. I use dehydrated minced onion, so that the kids won't notice. I just make it ahead of time and throw it in the fridge. It's better cold anyway. I also used the "real bacon pieces" from the bacon bits aisle and preshredded coleslaw mix. I like that the mix has carrots in it as well as the cabbage.
