I make a variation of this but never thought of adding beans. Thanks for that. I use pasta sauce from a jar, ground beef and instead of water I use low sodium beef broth. When I use ground beef I use a little steak seasoning when browning the meat.
Trust me, it makes a difference.
You really can't mess up this dish. You can add whatever you want really and it's still delicious. Also helps you stretch out some meals if you need to. Thanks for pointing out the beans. That's going in the pot next time.
