YUM! One of our favorites, I do green peppers instead of mushrooms and usually do 1 and 1/2 the recipe to freeze the extras. Love the spiciness! I also add shredded/diced carrot to reduce acidity and add another veggie.

Very easy to make. Husband didn't care for it. Kids thought to spicy. I did not mind it, but was very runny. Maybe next time I will drain the diced tomatoes.
