Notes
I made this dish at my daughter's house and used what she had in the cupboards. Normally I would use fresh garlic, fresh diced onions & jalapenos. You can also add spinach or fresh basil leaves & Italian season for a different taste. I used only 2- 3 Tbsp. of the jalapenos and it was pretty spicy, so depends on how spicy you like it!! Leave out jalapenos for the children.
