Introduction

This is a really tasty meal that is great in cooler weather. It is low in fat and sodium. It can be eaten in all phases of South Beach. If you are not watching sodium, you may want to add salt to taste. If you like your spaghetti sauce with a sweetness, you may want to increase the splenda (my husband always uses a full tsp when he makes it, I use 1/2 tsp) Also, we sometimes add extra tomato sauce so we will have more 'sauce' for rice. We have tried using rotel tomatoes and it was good, but a bit spicy for us, others may find it perfect. We usually serve it with brown rice and it makes a complete meal. If your family is full of meat eaters, you may want to increase the meat. This is a really tasty meal that is great in cooler weather. It is low in fat and sodium.
