Pretty good, but way too much peppers for my taste and I even cut the amount of eppers in half. Also, a big mistake to add the garlic to the celery and carrots, so I didn't do it. They burn so quickly and turn bitter. I sauteed them later with the zucchini, which I like crisp so a quick saute is perfect. A great fresh flavor. Thanks for posting, mane for Spring PAC 2013

My family LOVED this. I had my DGSs visiting and wanted something that I could TRY and get some veggies into them and liked the sound of this. It was PERFECT. I used my chopper and cut everything up really small (didn't want them to see the veggies) and then dumped it all in the crock-pot without even sauteing it and cooked on high for 4 hours. Only addition I did to it was add a 1/2 pound of ground round that I first cooked on the stove. The flavor was so fresh and clean is the best way I can describe it sort of reminded me of summer days when all the veggies are fresh. This made a ton and I hav plenty put back in the freezer that we can enjoy later. Made for Spring PAC 2010

I made this recipe last night and it was a big hit. Very delicious and worth the time to make. I used my processor slicing blade to do all the veggies, it was fast. I did not add the mushrooms, but never missed them. I only used a 24 oz. jar of tomatoe garlic sauce and it was plenty. I would recommend making this tonight.
