Haven't tried this yet but will in the near future. Being a single senior I find it hard cooking for just myself. These Cooking for Two recipes are great because they give me dinner and at least two lunches at work. I find them perfect.

This is a terrific recipe and incredibly easy. I didn't add corn because it's so high in carbs and it's still wonderful. The meat just falls apart. The only thing I would do is add more tomatoes and green pepper.
