  1. This was easy, filling, and tasted good. I omitted the bacon (counting fat and calories!) I did not put the rice into the mix, just served the dish on top of rice. I had veg broth so I used it instead of chix broth. Omitted the salt, but used some herbs and spices in its place. Used cooked dry beans instead of cannd.
     
  2. Extremely flavorful and delicious! The hot sauce adds just the right amount of heat, not overwhelming at all. I used Frank's Red Hot as I didn't have any Tabasco on hand. We had this with creole seasoned chicken breast, but it could stand quite well on it's own as a meal. Excellent find!! Will be making again and again, thanks for sharing.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a RETIRED high school administrator. I love to cook and my husband is a patient taste tester for me (poor baby)! Very lucky he is not a picky eater! We have an awesome son and daughter-in-law but unfortunately they live in Los Angeles so not much physical visiting. Lots of phone calls though! ? I love collecting cookbooks (drives my husband crazy), logo golf balls, and salt & pepper shakers (thanks to getting started with the old recipezaar swaps!). Recipezaar/Food.com has been a fantastic site for me. I have learned a ton at this site and really enjoy all of the forums (I think I'm getting addicted to the Swaps!!) My next big challenge is to learn how to put photographs on of the dishes I am making. Suggestions are definitely invited!!
