This is one of those recipes that I always have the ingredients on hand and it's SO versatile that it makes for really quick dinners if I have a few of these already whipped up in the freezer. But, if I don't, all I need to do is open a few cans and throw everything together! I hope you can adopt one of these variations for your family.
