Very good combination, I just think the cut up tomatoes are to big. Next time I will run my knife through the cut tomatoes to make them a little smaller. Overall, great addition to a meal. Thanks.

I used a 28 ounces can of diced tomatoes. It's healthy and delicious :) Thanks Lazyme :) Made for Photo tag game.

Wow! I served this dish with Recipe #129345, and it was a terrific meal. The beans were cooked in a large skillet, and next time I'll just go ahead and add the rest of the can of chopped tomatoes. Flavorful, "al dente," just dog-gone good!
