  1. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was! I made exactly as posted, except I substituted a can of diced tomatoes for the 1 cup diced tomato. Packs plenty of spice and heat. Served over rice, it was the perfect consistency. I will definitely be making this again. It’s a keeper! Thanks for posting.
