    O.K.
    I didn't know what to saute the onions in so I used 2T of olive oil. My tomatoes were a little solid so it was pretty dry. I added the water but next time I think I'll use canned diced tomatoes or home canned tomato sauce. I had one daughter that liked it and one that didn't. - 2/15/11
