My husband and I love this recipe. As the previous reviewer notes, this is not a spicy dish, but the sauce is wonderful. It is great with macaroni and cheese and cornbread.

Good flavor, but needs more spice--I add hot pepper sauce and/or salsa with the tomatoes. There's a lot of sauce, so it's good with cornbread as a light lunch.
