This is my alternate to plain macaroni tomatoes. I like adding the okra and onions. I also add corn and chicken sometimes. It is a quick meal for busy days. You can use canned or frozen vegetables and even canned or pre-cooked chicken. If you use fresh vegetables and chicken, it will take longer to cook.
