My family really like this dish. They thought it was something different for a change. It was quick, and easy to make. The perfect dish for a busy day supper! I made it exactly as the recipe is written, except I did leave the mushrooms out. Two of my family members do not care fir them. I will make this again!
So glad you gave this one a try! We love it too!
REally a tasty and easy recipe. I used fire-roasted tomatoes.
YAY! So glad you enjoyed it!
Delicious, I used chopped up cherry tomatoes and leftover pizza sauce instead of the can of tomatoes, it was excellent!
I made this tonight – it was pretty good…I used fresh portabella mushrooms, I’m not a fan of canned! I did use Rotel “fire roasted” tomato’s & a few drops of Tabasco. I’ve got 4 lunches or dinners left. I used pork Kielbasa they didn’t have beef, if I make again, I’ll try Andoulle (maybe not add the Tabasco️) ☺️
I made the smoked sausage with Spanish rice recipe!! It was FANTASTIC!!!! A definite keeper for sure!!! Thank you for all the wonderful recipes!! And I’m a Midwest girl!!
Yay! We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
Oh my goodness! I made this today for an afternoon of watching football games with my husband. It is delicious! I used Rotel tomatoes for a little extra kick. We loved it! Thanks for another wonderful recipe!
So glad it was a hit!
This really does smell great cooking. I added about 1/4 of a green bell pepper also and a little creole seasoning since I already had the Trinity stewing in the pot.
Hope you enjoyed this recipe! We love this dish.
They all look great and yummy food for thought
Luv…ur ..receipes…thanks..God bless…
Heat it up a little with andouille sausage and Rotel instead of canned tomatoes. Yum!
Definately gonna try it
wonders how this would do in a crockpot?
Tonya, I have never made it in the crockpot but I would try it. If you do, let me know how it turned out.
I was just thinking about what to cook for dinner when I saw your FB post. In reviewing the recipe, I have all the ingredients so it looks like this will be supper tonight at our house!! Thanks.
This is simmering on my stove top as I type! It smells yummy. 🙂
Would this be good using stewed tomatoes (along with the hot sauce). I have those in my pantry but I know they are sweeter. It’s storming here and I can’t get out to the grocery store. So I was wondering if I could make this substitution.
I have made this dish many times but never thought of adding meat. Looks good, a must make, thanks. Have a nice week.
