If you want something different for a weeknight dinner, this would definitely work.
I used diced ham and bulk sausage for my meats. I cooked the sausage and crumbled it before adding.
The bacon was a nice touch. It provided the lovely bacon flavor as well as some saltiness.
I used tomato puree as well as a jar of diced tomatoes. I like the bite of the diced tomato - it helps give the dish a little texture.
I also added some cayenne pepper - we like spicy food! The recipe doesn’t call for it, but I think it added something to the dish.
Overall this was a good, quick and easy dish.
