I made this on 4/22/08 for "Spring PAC 2008".I did make a few changes to suit our tastes,and this is what I did.Instead of using cream of mushroom,golden mushroom was used, and instead of using whole tomatoes, diced were used, a mixture of dried red and green peppers were used instead of the chopped green.But overall with the changes that were made, I don't think the outcome of the recipe was affected at all.And I really enjoyed the way the flavors were combined in the finished recipe.Thank you for posting a very good recipe, and "Keep Smiling :)"

I have made this twice now and it has turned out well both times. I did use diced tomatos instead of whole the second time and doubled the fried onions
