excellent. I have shared this on fishing trips in Ak and all over the nation. People love it and it is so easy to pack "in" . I do not decrease the sugar, perhaps because I add more green and red pepper and a 1/4 c. sliced jalepinos. This is great with long spaghetti done al dente'. So much for so little effort.

This is a family favorite and very easy to make. My family loves rotini noodles with this. I decrease the sugar to 1/4 c. and use ground either ground beef or turkey - both are delicious. A simple salad and you have a great dinner even in cold Minnesota winters!

I used ground chicken breast and less sugar than called for. It was yummy!

This is a simple but nice Mexican spin on spaghetti. I typically use less sugar when I make it but this depends on taste. This is a favorite of my two teenage sons, we pair it with a simple salad for a nice quick meal.
