A great dish and all of the ingredients are something that I always have on hand. The flavor blends well and no changes was needed.

Great dish and so easy to make! I knew my hubby would love this when I read the ingredients. I accidently bought a red and a green bell pepper at the store because I thought this recipe called for both when I read it earlier in the week. Thus, I went ahead and used them both. The only other change was using a 15 oz. can diced tomatoes instead of the larger can because that is all I had on hand. The flavors were great and my hubby told me to make sure I leave 5 stars for this review, and I agree. I'll definitely make this again. Thanks Marie for another winning recipe!

This is awesome! I, too, had to cook it longer for the sake of the potatoes -- 1 hr. 20 min. It's great just the way it is, but I'm envisioning adding mushrooms, hot peppers and perhaps sauteed chicken when I have a crowd for dinner. Thanks Marie!
