"From Taste of Home (TOH). The cayenne gives this dish some zip; you can cut down on the salt if you want lower sodium."

I made this dish for PAC Spring 2009. It was very quick to put together and tasted great. The cayenne gave it the perfect amount of spice for me. I served this with dinner rolls but, my husband and I both agreed that it would be perfect with rice so that is what I will have with it next time. Great dish, thanks for sharing!!
