Great easy recipe when the pantry is getting bare. I wanted to add veggies, but was vetoed by my husband, who was cooking this. He decided to add a bunch of cayenne, so now he's the only one eating it, but before he did that it was really good! I'll do the cooking next time we make this one. Thanks for sharing a quick recipe idea!

This was a huge hit with my family! Added a bag of mixed veggies to it.

This is a fantastic budget meal. I used ground turkey and added 2 cloves of minced garlic. I did toss in some finely chopped mushrooms. The recipe makes lots. It was served with a side salad for a quick weeknight meal. Made for *PAC Spring 2008*
