I've also made this meal with 1 can diced tomatos and 1/2 c. ketchup instead of tomato sauce and salsa. Also try 1 can Rotel and 1/2 cup ketchup instead of tomato sauce and salsa. We also ad Sirracha (sp?) or "Red Rooster sauce" found in the Asian cuisine aisle of your grocery store. It is a hot sauce that is a nice background flavor to this dish. Also try it in spaghetti!Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DUKESMOM09.
