I'm REALLY sorry, but I just didn't like this at all. I'm still rating it as a 3, though, because my boyfriend liked it. I'm not sure what I didn't like...I think the Tabasco was part of the problem. And the tomatoes. I think I would have preferred using Rotel - something where the tomatoes have some spice already soaked into them. In fact, I'm willing to bet I would have liked it a lot better in that situation. I might try this again sometime, and just leave out the Tabasco and substitute Rotel for the diced tomatoes. Given that my boyfriend liked it, though, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the recipe as is. Just depends on tastes, I suppose. I do think I will try it again with the mods I suggested. Thanks!
