This was so good. I had to made a bit of an adjustment because I had tomato paste instead of sauce. If you have a similar problem, use about 6-7 oz of water to about 3 oz of tomato paste and you have a decent substitute (instead of the 8 oz tomato sauce. Perfect accompaniment to cheese enchiladas!

Easy and YUMMY! This is an excellent recipe. We used chopped green chiles instead of green peppers. Everything else was left the same. Thanks!

This is a great recipe and very easy to put together. I only put in 1 tsp. of salt and I simmered it slowly for close to an hour. It is a wonderful addition to my cookbook.
