Comments:

This was very easy to make.  I did not add the Chipotle pepper or bell peppers since I don't like either.  It tasted pretty well but a little too much tomato paste for my liking.  I ate mine with some Tostitos Simply Natural Yellow Corn Chips.  I only added 1/2 an onion and wish I would've added a whole onion.  I also wish I would've added at least 3 cloves of garlic rather than 2.
