We liked this, I love that it has everything for a good meal included. There were a couple of ingredients left out of the direction like the garlic and butter. I put them in with the peppers and onions. I lost all the good brown bits from the meats, so if I make it again I will use a dutch oven and saute the veggies then cook the meat and finish it all in there.
