I changed Jalapeno pepper to a red pepper and then instead of cooking oil I use veg.broth to cook the veggie until tender.and the tomato juice I use 2TBL spoons of tomato paste to 1cup of hot water and then that cut back on sodium. the cheese I used but put on the side of the dish not on top. - 12/2/11
