I love this recipe and have used it often, everyone seems to enjoy it everytime I serve it. This is a very adaptable recipe because you can add or omit the seasoning you like as well as add the vegetables you prefer in it (or add no vegetables) I make the whole recipe and freeze the rest when I dont need it all at once. I put the unused portions in zip-locked freezer bags and it keeps well.. I like to top this recipe with pepperidge farm puff pastry from the freezer section and I sometimes top it with a pie crust...it is also great with dumplings cooked on top of it..just make sure to thin the sauce a bit to allow for cooking the dumplings...and of course, this is great served over noodles or with the noodles thrown right in it (make sure to thin the sauce to allow for the noodles to cook, they also thicken it a bit. Enjoy ! Judy

I can see how this would be a great pot pie filling. I made it as a stew and it was not flavorful enough for our taste. I added some cayenne and that helped. Will probably dice peppers next time or find some other way to spice it up!
