Variations to Try

Veggie Boost

For added nutrition and color, stir in chopped bell peppers or fresh spinach during the simmering stage.

Spicy Kick

If you enjoy a bit of heat, add a teaspoon of red chili flakes or use “Rotel” style tomatoes with green chilies to spice up the sauce.

Creamy Version

For a silkier texture, stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream or a dollop of cream cheese just before adding the shredded cheese.
