"I love the combination of ingredients in this dish. It's excellent served with a green salad and cornbread on the side. I also sometimes leave out the red and green peppers to make it more kid-friendly."

Love this recipe! I didn't have the Ro-Tel on hand so I used a can of stewed tomatoes. Served with a skillet of corn bread and tossed lettuce salad. Wonderful!
