I am always looking to make something different for dinner. I used 2 slices of lower sodium bacon w/a little bit of Crisco shortening(drained grease & took out bacon). We are trying to watch our sodium intake-used Mrs. Dash table blend & pepper for seasoning. We didn't have stewed tomatoes, so I used a can of balsamic vinegar, basil & olive oil diced tomatoes. Served w/mashed potatoes. Dinner was surprisingly good.
