I like to add 1 can of light red kidney beans, 1 lb of browned ground beef, drained. Even adding round steak instead of ground beef is good too. If things become to dry during cooking I either add extra chicken broth or beef broth. The broth used can really enhance the meal instead of using water. Water tends to cause the recipe to be bland tasting.
