This was a great starting recipe. We did make some changes due to taste and what we had on hand. I used celery seed instead of celery, Rotel W/ chilies for the diced tomatoes, tomato paste inplace of ketchup, added 1 clove of diced garlic, 1 bay leaf and 1 bottle of beer for part of the water. We used smoked chorizo because that is what we had. Both the wife and I loved this dish, we will make again and again... 5 star.

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
