This recipe had a wonderful flavor, however we had to add a little more juice to cook the veggies in and put a top on it and let it cook and make a little juice and then add a little more juice to what the recipe originally called for to be added later. But it was VERY GOOD! We crumbled the bacon but just mixed it up all together and it added a nice little flavor.
