"This can easily be adapted to whatever you happen to have in the house, since that's how I made it up. I'm sure it would also work with ground beef (omit the olive oil). Most people will probably have to add some salt, but we've been on a low sodium diet for so long that what came in the canned goods was more than plenty for us."
