• Step 9
  I serve this dish with a salad of lettuce, chopped green onions and fresh tomato. Just before serving I open and rince the sauce off a can of Ranch Style Beans (original) and drain well. At the last minute toss beans and salad with a few Frito corn chips (small size)with your favorite Catalina dressing. (I use fat free or reduced fat)

  I have never been able to make enough to have left overs! My family loves it.
