I love this dish, it's simple to make and filling too. The second time I made it, I added a little more cayenne and I also added a can of chopped chilies to it.
I took it to work and everone enjoyed it

I really enjoyed this. The flavoring is very sublte but perfect. I did use MEXICAN stewed tomatoes and omitted the cayenne. I didn't quite understand the part about setting aside the liquid of the tomatoes, just to turn around and put it into the pot, so I didn't do that and it turned out fine. THANKS!
