Actually, I used the recipe as a jumping-off point and adapted it slightly to accommodate what I had handy. My tweaks:
--I only used half an onion and supplemented with a few shakes of onion powder.
--My diced tomatoes were seasoned with basil, oregano, and garlic.
--I didn't have any fresh potatoes, so I used Southern Home hash browns which are really just frozen cubed potatoes.
--I didn't have any bouillon cubes, so I added a few splashes of chicken broth.
This turned out much better than I could have hoped for. I get a little thrill when I am able to throw together a dish using odds and ends in my fridge and pantry.
