It is a tradition every year to make this on Halloween.  I do it because it is an easy meal and is festive.  I like to add extra chili pepper seasoning and salt and pepper at the end to taste. I didn't have a 46 oz can of tomato juice this last time so I added 5 8 oz. cans of tomato sauce. It turned out fine.
