    We really liked this... however, it was too thick with just these ingredients, so we just added another can of diced tomatoes. My parents are here for Christmas and are vegetarians, and they are thrilled! Thanks! - 12/25/09

    I love this recipe, I made it a few weeks ago. Instead of using tofu I used a package of fake ground beef, it was amazing. I'm actually making it again today

    Hi, I like the idea of your recipe but I am wondering how much tofu you are using,its in the directions but not in the ingredients. - 1/24/09

    I actualy omitted the tofu because I'm not a huge fan, which is why I left it out of the ingredients. I forgot to amend the directions, too. Sorry!! The original recipe called for (1) 14 oz package, drained and cubed. Hope you enjoy it!

    I loved this recipe! I added a package of Morningstar crumbles but I think it would be great without it too. - 10/27/10
