I used 2 carrots and 1 green bell pepper. I didn't measure them. I used near 3 tablespoon of brown sugar cause I didn't want it too sweet. That's perfect. This is very tasty. Thanks Melvin's Wifey :) Made for Holiday Tag.

I work in a group home and made this recipe yesterday for my clients and it was a huge hit. I have one picky eater and I could not believe how well she ate. I think this was the best I have seen her eat in a year! I only had one can of chicken broth but doubled all the rest of the ingredients so I had to add water to the pan inorder to soften the carrots enough as I didn't have a mandolin to make nice even slices. Served with broccoli and brown rice and we had enough for our meal and lunchboxes and not a drop more. I will be making this for the clients again. It was nice to see everyone eat with gusto for a change!! Thanks much! Jonesy
