Everyone really liked this including all but my littlest one (who hates ALL vegies). My husband who is from the south loved this. Thought it tasted like Southern dishes he grew up with even though it's "Italian". I didn't change anything except one of my cans of diced tomatoes I had on hand wasn't Italian, but had onions, celery and green peppers in it. We will likely make this fairly often as it was SUPER easy to throw together. Would also be great with leftover cooked chicken or with shrimp or any combination of the meats! I put out Louisiana hot sauce, red pepper flakes so everyone could spice it up to their taste and served with warm french loaf. Yum!

While my family enjoyed this dish, I found it rather bland.
