Tip

Storing Pasta

I store all my pastas in canning jars rather than the opened boxes. The pasta stays fresher, and the jars stack nicely, too, conserving pantry space. When I’m preparing my grocery list, I can see what I need at a glance. —Laurie S., Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

I made this yesterday, my wife and I love it. Wonderful flavor and texture. Good as a left over too.

It was ok. A little too much ground cumin for my taste and I didn't even use the full amount.

I tried this for my 18 year old son and his friends - they loved it. I used Rotel instead of the tomatoes and it added a nice extra bite :) It also made enough to fill them up!

This was fabulous. Had some kick but not too much! My husband and kids really liked it too!

Sorry, no one in the family liked this & it made a lot. Nothing special about it. I am going through each recipe in my magazine and trying them. Not a keeper.

I have made this several times, with store bought bbq pork and homemade, I love this recipe, fast and delicious. For those complaining about spice, use diced tomatoes without ANY green chilies which would help. Hopefully this review will let me pick 5 stars right now it is stuck on 3...

This recipe was DEELISH! Loved it. I did do some short cuts. I purchased a tub of premade pulled pork at my local grocery store for $4. Also, instead of red bell peppers, I used green. Since the prepackaged pulled pork had a enough sauce, I poured the entire can (juice and all) into the skillet and it thinned it out. We will definitely do this again because prep and cook time was a total of 15 minutes. Thank you, Mrs. Judy.

I made this awhile back, and it just didn't do anything for me. I wish I knew what went wrong so I could fix it, because I really wanted to love it. Sorry, it's just not for me.

This is a split decision. He thought it was good and I could not even eat all of mine. It was way too heavy on the BBQ flavor. I like BBQ but not this. He thought good. I thought poor. Split in the middle at fair, however, I will not make it again.

I found this recipe while searching top 10 recipe lists. It grabbed my attention because I just happened to have some left over pulled pork. Boy am I glad I did. It was delicious. It is just my fiance and I, so we had a good bit of leftovers. That was no problem though because we both loved it so much we ate it several days in a row. The second day it was a little dry so I added a big spoon of sour cream while heating. It changed the flavor just a bit, but still great.
