So I have been using this recipe I poached from Mingo's (search the 'Recipes' section of her blog) site a few years ago. We were going to a family potluck and I needed something quick. This right here hit the spot! It was a winner at the potluck; like folks were hiding bowls to take home! LOL This is my go to recipe for potlucks
I adjusted the recipe for a weeknight meal and added a couple of spices to suit my family's tastes...we like it spicy round these parts!

ok, we had this for lunch today (so yes I cooked **gasp**). You talking about SPICY!!! I think I add a little too much cayenne for us, but it was still good.
