Really good flavor and not too spicy, just as we like it. I served this with crusty bread for brunch and everyone liked it very much. Thanks for sharing the recipe. -
Wow, this was really delicious. It made a wonderful brunch dish. So quick and easy to put together, too. Made for Mike and the Appliance Killers ZWT9.

A delicious dish that is super easy to put together. I wound up using a can of diced tomatoes as a couple of the fresh I had planned to use had gone bad. It has a nice combination of spices. This made a light dinner with some crusty bread. Made for ZWT9. -
Great dish! Nice little kick from the pepper (I opted for hot). Thanks for sharing! ZWT9

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
